The Transition of Souls


Time reflecting of loves passed by, thoughts
reminiscing moments which were cast to stone,
pubescence had barely lost its hold, you strippedthe camouflage and boyish soul, naked we staredplanning for times when age would behold. I’m lavishing remembering, the intimacy, therawness of our youth, the spillage of words -moans uttered, at the height of our impassionateembrace, how I long to milk the love that you gave,and to be laid, to be subdued, by your presence again, I’m standing before you baring my soul, butalas without you, I’m alone and so very cold,my veins drained of your passion, my eye’s –clouded by your cruel murderous demise,the bringer of death stole both our lives’ Please forgive me I well up inside;… thoughtsracing through my mind, it’…s just you lying-there, entombed, for all time, years apart haveplagued my mind, this world; … holds no placefor my broken soul, so tonight I come prepared;…. Forgive my love, but my patience has died,“And no” I leave no-one behind, I want to liedown and cuddle to your side, death will be ablissful thankful release, so hush now, as I raisethis challis and sip gratefully, knowing I will - Finally be at piece, and yes soon, we will be ableTo embrace all the years that have been denied,Help me my darling as I pass over to your side,I tire, the light fades, I hold a rose and awaitYour embrace…………………………..

Cat Your words mean so much-Thank you

I must say, For me i am pleased with this, But for the fact that i have only played at penning moments, Having by chance finding this great community, It has made me look very closely -At myself as a person, and the realization that we are all capable of much more, given the right prompting and the want to improve, To be in company of such nice people and the sharing of a common interest is very- humbling, Thank you for your support, Sorry i get carried away- I tend to shy away from giving critique as I suffer from a mild form of Dyslexia, whilst i try to read so many postings, There are people better placed to give more informed opinions, Once again thank you for your continued support....and to Chrys.

You are not alone, I too, am slightly dyslexic. I reverse letters and numbers all the time. I read slowly so as to offset this annoying problem. Always, Cat
