Burn

I burned my tongue
on the coffee this morning,
as you lay sleeping.

I burned my tongue
on the way I whispered
"I love you" last night,
on the things left unsaid,
on unconfessed sins,
guilt laden truths, and
on words whispered
in another's ear.

I burned my tongue
on the coffee this morning,
before I found my keys.

I have fond memories of writing this one. Running_with_rabbits wrote a beautiful and touching poem that was the inspiration.

She Is A Fine Writer

Runninig_With_Rabbits inspired me so much, one if my first postpoem poet contacts. She was taking a break from school, last I heard from her. I know her poetry is more fabulous now than back then.
