L Milton Hankins Poet Free verse

Sighs

I am wondering are sighs everlasting
Or do they come and go like noisome vapors
Some the eternal remains of unburied flesh
How loathsome the infinite unexplained sigh
Which can be beautiful nipping at love’s heels
Limitless in breadth and scope like infinity
I tell you, some things are boundless but
Few things endless like sweet wedded bliss.
