Form: Vertical Monocrostic
Numb to the enthralling air that fills the ceaseless expanse grace.
Obscure to rusting leaves and the breeze gentle whisper.
Sense your flavor as once you used to lean in for a kiss as we'd embraced.
Teased invitation to intimacy as sounds echoed through the rooms.
Age took us one chapter to the next; laid precious paths of closeness.
Lacework caught in a dreamcatcher of our years not stopping there.
Good-byes came saturating loneliness as graying plaque this existence.
Isolated I am, fleeting into the ebon night with flickering light.
Among longing memories of your presence to go before I sleep.

Topic:Birthday of Kirk Homer Ramos (October 11)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
I see him sometime come through the kitchen door,
Sometimes standing looking over garden ledge,
He wakes me some nights by appearing in dreams,
Ever so often jolts me by his absence!
Tense silence surrounds me without his laughter,
How very much shall miss him from here after,
Every thing in this house reminds me of him,
Right from music to his chair in the corner!
Even garden birds stop, scan for his presence,
Waiting for a handful of seeds he would throw,
Is it possible his soul lurks around me?
Tenderly follows in everything I do?
His mischievous self is capable of that?
My mind still searches but my lonely heart knows,
Eternal love and peace where ever he goes!
