Free Verse # 251 (a fading flower)

“Life is elsewhere?”
Sighed the cup of tea
Warm in my hands.

~

Alone in the dark,
The silence a heavy foot
Weighing down my heart.

~

To touch her
in thought or sight
one must be pure
as a ray of light

~

The poem
in a transient world,
dawn in a fading flower.

~

Lacing his scent
to her inner thigh,
the curve of her breast,
the lining of her smile.

~

I listened to the fog
and her voice was a river
churning through my soul
