Imagining Your Kiss

Heated only by stars— Another night without you. It bites out my very veins, This shudder from some animal That made its house-home in my soul Now since you’re gone. I won’t play too hard with my dark side, Though they say now I must. I’m remembering you instead—our dreams in stardust, In the light or night of day. Are you getting the briers I left in your skin? Stuck to you, I know I hurt you; But I hope they fit around you like the beginning of wings— From me.

Is it wrong to be giddy over someone else's progression? You're brilliant lady absolutely brilliant! My muse is stirring over a cauldron based on reading your work! Warmest regards A.S.

This is deep and emotional, all at the same time. When you're hurt in such a way, the pain never seems to go away. Paige, your thoughts touch my heart so deeply. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Paige, very unique lost love poem! The ending especially grabbed me. I've left briers in someone as well, and the thought that they could be the beginnings of wings is such a beautiful and hopeful one. Really enjoyed this piece!
