She stroked my fingers. In my dreams she visits me.
Poetry, my love.

tossing
purple
rain
like
confetti
at
weddings.
I dream of Sydney
silent predator
slithering into my heart
eating me alive
I feel the void that
Threatens to suck me into
Its dark nothingness
I begged him to stay
He declined and walked away:
Falling leaves scatter
My nightmares echo
Voices of loved ones buried:
They are gone but live
I dreamt of past loves
As though they were still alive:
A flame still flickers
I woke up and breathed
That gentle first breath of life:
I am still alive
scorching heat wave broke
As the clouds cried victory –
earth sighed with relief
