11/3/11

***This seems an appropriate topic with the undeniable and unpreventable death of beautiful Summer! As Morrie Schwartz said, "Everything that gets born dies." ***

A glass jar of words never said
Isolated thoughts acknowledged before bed
A virus of love quarantined

One morning, I awoke, age fifty two
Certain in a few years I would readily spew
Every buttress in my heart
Words I wish I'd spoken from the start

But now you lay six feet underground
Leaving me behind, voice newly found
Leaking tears as I realize
It's too late
Never again will you materialize
Never again will you material
Never again will you
Never again will
Never again
Never

  1. i like this and it makes me sad and contemplative.

    i feel like there needs to be some sort of smoother transition between your first and second paragraph. your second paragraph was a bit abrupt
