GETTING SMALLER

                                                                
The tinierthe point of the needle the more easily it threads through  the thinner the blade of the sword the more swiftly it cuts in two the smaller my love shrinksthe sooner I'll be over you BjR 14 08 '09

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: Tip of Southern Africa, ZAF

Favorite Poets: Too many to narrow down, but briefly :, AUDEN, T.S. ELIOT, DICKENSON, RILKE, THOREAU, RUMI ... the list is endless. Am inspired by many, especially those that live lives of "quiet desperation, and go to the grave with a song still in them" (THoreau)
