Two Versions of Still

1. I miss you still, all’s hurt and weeping, shrouding orb and stars, while nourishments a pot of poisoned love that in my desperation I consume cold on the ash of angers fiery words. 1. I sift and rake love’s cinders so to find some fragments to construct a fragile chain to fasten me to you and you to love, treat tender, lead me into warmth from chill, I love you still 2 FULL RHYME VERSION I miss you still all’s hurt and weep as I the past distill, while nourishments a pot of poisoned love that I consume and never can tire of cold on the ash of angers fiery words. That ash I sift and rake for I am spurred to make from fragments there a fragile chain that fastens us once more in love’s domain. Treat tender dear, come into warmth from chill, I love you still.
