we lived together
in intent and word
and all in our letters
you
fell in love
with me
and I
with you
we lived upon
the banks of the page
and flourished in the paragraphs
of our most private selves
sharing all the glorious and inglorious
happenings of yesterdays revisited
familial moments restored
and the supreme wonder
of love
uncompromised
the pens have been replaced
and such life once enjoyed with you
has swept off her porch of sense
and sent you on your way
it was your death
that wrote your final love
letter to me
painful as it was
and ever will be
to read...........
