Notes About The Poem

My Love My Life My Death

Long ago
I died

I wished only 
To suckle from your breast

I dreamed only to hold you
As you would embrace me to rest

I dreamed that love
Would set us both free

You denied me the fairy tale
You robbed your own broken heart

Now, we are both the poorer
The mourning makes us both the sorer

The canary sings when the new morning rings
The sun rises, and a young lovers smile rises

You are there
I am here

The road of one, still has room
Wonder when the cloud will lift the gloom

I have died long ago
No need to breathe on dead old leaves

If only the scar on the heart
Would open up

Only then could the rainbows sing
Letting the sunshine in

The blood would tumble and flood the floor
Flowing right out that heartless door

There I would be in soldier grey
Ready for the battle to make love stay

Into my arms, you would faint
I would stare and unspoken I would paint

The first small kiss you would awake
Open the book, so that verses we could make
