From Writers To Words

"Stay with me."
And allow me peace.
No fighting for fame.
No focus for fortune.
Keep me yours, and I will "be".
Lines and stanzas. 
Stories and books.

"These are our verses contributed."

Secrets. Release. 
Escape and admire.
This is the portrait of us.
Finding meaning in each other.

Hearts and words, 
my oldest friend.
Bonded by letters, 
Sealed by blood and breath.
And together...
"We conquer death."

How true, if we are fortunate our words will survive long after our bodies have turned to dust.
