Poems and Writings for Young Women and Women Young at Heart - Paperback

Unforgiving Twilight They were toxic to his body, His skin and my heart. I thought our love was unbreakable Indestructible, eternal. Those chemicals drank his blood. They made him think that He could soar through the heavens. It was a graceful plunge Into the deep, thick pool below. The Serpent hands grasped for His delicate insides. Pink floated in the wavy water And I cried rivers of broken promises. He once told me "until the end," I stared at his mangled body And whispered "you lied." The days turned colder, darker And I craved his warmth. So I curled my fingers Over the elusive dust And kept it under the covers. My brightly shining starlight, Please help me forget How my reflections flickered in those needy eyes. Because here I sink deeper Into your dirty, unforgiving lie.
