Love and Death

Mi amor, how we adore us feel how it tangles deep in our hearts we have fallen in love... Darling, when I am gone bury me under the soaring oak beneath the Spanish Moss that shades you where you read my love letters... In love we are as mortals dazzled and deluded by the architecture of our bodies lost in admiration of such glory... Today let us live, mi amor let us make such sweet love before there is no more of you and I... One day you will miss me dead and gone forever then you will desire me you will remember and want me... Then you will visit my grave throw kisses at my tombstone why not give them to me now? I am here before you.. Then after that day comes and anyone mentions my name awakening your secret pain my beloved... While you are beneath your tree tell them you are not crying it is just pollen in the warm breeze that make your eyes weep...

Ken This is a very heartfelt and emotional write. We need to be thankful for the moments we have because they will soon be gone. Nice job Thanks for the great comment on my Attraction poem

Told with great tenderness. To live in the moment and appreciate it for all it truly is seems like something only my dogs has mastered.

I could not agree with you more! Why waste time when love was meant for here and now! We should never turn away from love, because we will only end up alone...I really enjoyed this poem, my friend! Wonderful, wonderful work!...Thank you for the kind comments, once again.
