Although you cradle gently, <br />wanting you has altered me <br />like a leaf, falling from it's branch <br />upon a solid oak tree. <br /> <br />What once was filled with lush life, <br />clinging to the pulse of your limbs, <br />has dried, faded, dropped from sight <br />and will never be the same again. <br /> <br />That careful breath you bestowed <br />with just one sweet kiss, <br />dries, arid, inside my throat - <br />run hoarse from dreams dismissed. <br /> <br />As I fall towards the earth, <br />to shatter upon graves of truth, <br />a sudden breeze catches me, <br />returns my heart- once more- to you. <br /> <br />26/11/08<br /><br />Viola Grey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/about-you-6/
