**UNTIL DEATH DO WE JOIN** Poem of the Week 2.18.07
Poem of the Week: February 18, 2007
Until Death do We Join
by Tom Watson
When the shadows arrive from down the road
And my filtered sun turns blood red color
I try all efforts to release your load;
Then you approach from behind my heart’s door.
For too long have your ashes filled the jar;
For too long was your soul imprisoned there,
Entombed, rejected, while I kept afar
Desperate loneliness left your crypt bare…
Now you do, what I failed to do for you;
You ride the shadows falling from death’s womb,
Seeking to bring me a new deadly view;
To instill my heart with joys of your tomb.
Now forever in your grip my heart cries
Forever within your death, my tears dry.
Tom

May you always feel her love surrounding you, especially in the darkest moments for as long as she lives in your heart, she will always be with you.
A beautiful poem that brought me to tears.

Almost a year since the last thoughtful comment and I missed them all...so sorry.
First, thanks to everyone who made this the poem of the week back then. As I said before, I visit this forum very infrequently.
Spazway, Duchess, Debbie, Nekot, silhouette's song and Nacona...thanks to all of you for your considerate comments...
