Eternal Embrace

My love, if we die tomorrow I don't want the cold clay to separate our bones I still want to feel the softness of your dark hair against my cheeks In our slumber of life's last eternal embrace I want to feel your breath escaping to mingle with my own Until the day's final light stretches across the vast expanse From life into death's empty forest I will hold your bones with mine

Rosa Hanna,Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

I like the last line. I'm not sure how this is a sonnet, though, and I write contemporary sonnets. Your poem is eerie without being creepy (an echo of Poe, perhaps :) ) Welcome to Soup, a place to post and read poetry, connect with other writers and chill out in blog lounge rooms. Some of the other links may interest you as well. It can take some time to learn the ropes, here, but most folks here are friendly. Cheers!

PS- there are many ways to contact poets, here. There is soup mail -- an internal email system. If you click on any poet's name It will take you to his/her home page. On the top of that page, you will find icons for soup mail and blogs (if the member has paid for the premium package)

:) You changed it. It does take some time to learn the ins and outs of the site... but once you do? It becomes very user-friendly. Hope you have a good weekend.

Thank you. My poem is not a sonnet. How did it get that classification? Wonder how to change it...?
