Waiting





The Morgue File




i burnt the last of you
along with sandalwood
in a bronzed tray
fired with the patina
of sleepless nights.

there was a time i thought
we would grow old
our wrinkled skin a haven
the bliss of the aged
a kiss on my forehead in the dark


i still see you
standing with coffee by the bed
waiting .

i stand by the bed now
and hope you can find me
waiting.

  2. True love remains in memory and lingers on as long as it pleases. Only up to us to do something about it! Great lines Audrey!
