I held hands with death, we were in a dark, black place; it was so quiet . . . Come my Beauty, quickly now, lets leave this dark, lonely land! I saw the dead trees, the rows and rows of grey tombs; and we stood at one . . . Do not be afraid Beauty, I offer eternity! And I saw my name, engraved in stone forever; so I ran away . . . Beauty stop, it is your time, oh run- I will be waiting! ________________________ July 3, 2017 Poetry/Tanka/Come My Beauty Copyright Protected, ID 07- 917-464-03 All Rights Reserved, 2017, Constance La France

This is beautifully written BW. As always with you. It is a little dark and scary to think about. I am glad you were able to run away. You are an artist! - Dean

Excellent write on a subject always subliminal in our minds. Your description captures the elusive mood. Nice to read your poems again. I decided today I must try to summon back the Muse. Hugs from SuZ

Wonderful write BW. Deep musing for the situation in which you find yourself.
