A step back in time in the middle of a desert <br /> <br />Looking to quench my thirst and found water <br /> <br />Should there be too little, I would not dare waste it <br /> <br />If too much, I will tip the vessel and leave the rest for later <br /> <br /> <br />You are indeed the best of the bunch, in the dim light <br /> <br />Your head shows a halo, your face all aglow <br /> <br />Is it just me or it it really you, or a ghost? <br /> <br />Trying hard not to drown in the shallow loneliness <br /> <br /> <br />The sound of your footsteps recede faintly slithering <br /> <br />How many hours ago on Skype or 'aeons of strife' ago? <br /> <br />The waiting period has moved to another 15 days <br /> <br />The baby kicks inside my womb, are you aborting soon?<br /><br />Doris Cornago<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/abortion-44/
