I long to kiss the image of my death
Poetry

I long to kiss the image of my death

Sometimes when summer is here

I watch the sunsets 

And you appear

Smiling beneath the rain

Echoing softly as poems whisper

Through pages of leafless books

When flowers bloom smiling towards the skies

And grass glides upwards 

and mown,  mulches awkward flies

I think of you as the sun burns

And you return

I listen 

To the August rain 

As thunder echos its refrain

With wonder as it blasts in pain

You smiling laugh again and again

At night

As time creeps into day

Where moments lost by sleep

Challenge you to  lay awake

Restlessly the wasted stress to ache

Battling the drifting into rest

To fear the heartbeats pause a test

I find you 

In the storm , the sudden dancing of wind.

In the lightening  brightening  the heavens

and the stars darkening the sky

I kiss the image of my death

We converse and wonder why
