Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Last Love Letter

your last love letter
not written on gilded letterhead
or even written with a pen

it wasn’t long or convoluted
it wasn’t fancy and flowery
it was simple and from the heart

heard like an echo
resonating through your last days
whispered with every breath you took

last words
summing it all up
repeated over and over

your last love letter
from your heart
your lips

“i love you
you’re beautiful”

etched forever in my memory

Jennifer Proxenos February 10, 2021 at 9:36 AM Your Zen Garden, Attitude of Gratitude and Phoography Meraki are awesome, Big congratulations on these three poems been chosen for Poetry Soup's Anthology book. You are an awesome poetess and through your poetry I can feel that peace will be attainable. We never forget (I lost my first child at 5 days old) but we do realize that life must go on, until one day we meet again. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

Jennifer Proxenos February 10, 2021 at 9:27 AM Hi Line, I must confess I read somewhere that Connie and Line lost their husbands. I am so sorry, I feel totally inadequate in my apology and condolences. I should have been well aware of your loss and the heartbreak you went through - you now have a guardian angel watching over you. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer. Line Gauthier February 10, 2021 at 7:26 PM Warm wishes are never too late. Most appreciated, Jennifer. Hugs xx
