Letting go

In poetry on December 17, 2009 at 08:01

Painting  toe nails
Tying up hair
Carrying you to bed
I thought i cared

Puckered lips
Mascara kissed eyes
Tease me to the hilt
Each night surprise

And now i miss
the feathered slap
the gentle nudge
the body wrap

Dying in moments
Makes it hard you know
I hope, I End
Before letting go

P.S: This poem was inspired by the photograph posted by my blog friend and amazing photographer Daniel. Show him some love 🙂
