As one, am none As two, embraced in hue As salt fell from the vine Soured was my embrace with wine Kissed only in the mist For I am not, nor love could resist Lungs touching blooms in moldy waters My last breath Did she exist?

I'm sure she did...and she was your muse. This is an intriguing piece. Salt falling from vines. Can't get my mind around that imagery. Will you enlighten me. Is there some hidden meaning? Hugs

Just popped into me head that, being that grapes become wine, ( or hopefully most do LOL ) I just thought that at times, love was soured from the beginning before we realized.

Is there a theme with your latest poems? I love the "salt fell from the vine" line and the blooms in moldy water. Gives me shivers. Awesome.
