Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Coming Home

i remember coming home
under the weight of fate’s hammer
one nail already in your coffin
the bell had rung loud and clear
announcing the last round

i brought you home
my precious love
what was left of you
i brought you home
where you belonged

not sure how anything would play out
time a blur nothing certain except
we knew it was the last scene of the final act
but as best we could dammit each moment
would be one by one preciously savored

Timothy Mcguire May 5, 2021 at 7:52 PM So touching, a FAV for me. I have been there and the old tears came back and reminded me of that time. Thanks you for so often our memories fade. I want to remember the good times and the bad. <3 Line Gauthier May 7, 2021 at 10:05 AM Thank you so much, Timothy. Precious moments indeed ~
