love me like a poem
‘Love Poems’ boldly engraved on the cover
of the book she left behind
the only thing she forgot
I opened it. the pages were blank
band of gold: ring of fire
burned like her kisses used to
in the garden, the wildflowers bloomed
they smelled like her
I trampled over them, heard their screams
watched them die under my boots
from my window, I see the cathedral
silver tones of the chimes – ‘Ave Maria’
all my blaspheming cries
begin with F
the stars spelled out her name
across the black tarmac where heaven hides
I took my deerhunter special
12 gauge, double barrel
shot them down, one by one
tell me again

A wonderful despondent love poem- the richness and variety of responses are beautifully controlled and expressed.

You have it in your hand John. I ached as I read brother. I read again. And ached some more. I really, really feel this. I believe I will hang on to this a while. Thanking you Sir.

Now this is a passionate piece of poetry, Ave Maria being one of the most endeared masterpieces ever written in song. A rendition to remember, John :)~

Ava Maria and a 12 gauge ... Deadly combinations when it comes to love. Brilliant work!

Try as you will, some things cannot be eradicated... all you can do is feel, and accept, and move on...
this moved me...

I trampled over them, heard their screams
watched them die under my boots
what a lovely figure u seem to have trampled

Palpatable agony, captivating pain spiced with a dash of rage ... Passionate ink! Devoured it!
