Death's Caress
Laura Ashlene Attwood
Ants...
You were my rainbow
Fragile, delicate misty spray
I could never hold you
You glistened too brightly
in the sun
Out of reach always
But for a glorious moment
You shone across my face
Laura Jan 1999
I found you beautiful bird
we flew together for a precious while
Then you overtook me
spiralled to heights I can�t yet reach
Maybe one day I�ll fly with you once more
till then ...
Darling soar
February 1999
Life appears to have no rhyme
The story where logic�s abandonment
leaves a melted skeleton
Global puzzle
Pieces in a game of Hide and Seek
of surreal proportions
the stranger and vastly curious -
the closer to the existential
bizarre reality that is life.
February 1999
SEPARATED:
I meet you again
in my tortured mind
I feel you
Velvet moment as
your warmth brushes my cheek
You�re here
Brief ecstatic joy
a few seconds then child grown up
It�s you
but never again as you were
I know it�s you
How could I ever forget
Morphine for my soul
Now all I have is my senses
Gut wrenching feeling
I hate that place
I feel it in the depths of my core
the tumour that poisons me inside
a viciously cruel gnarled hand
constricting my heart
Leave me alone
Give me my mind and my memories
that�s the only leftover on my dirty plate
Laura March 1999
Separated forever
mere glass
Souls never perish
The canyon you�ve left
bereft
will gently fill with trickling tears
One day the serene water
will moisten parched earth
the seed is sown
planted within me
flowering .... the glory
all yours
how fitting - you embraced life
all that could die
WHERE ARE YOU...?
Will I ever be with you once more?
What of questions I know can never be answered
AS a child my Gran always told me in answer to my million questions of �why� ...why is a crooked letter. �But why, Gran..?� �Well, why is a crooked letter�
Only now do I understand what she meant.
I remember when my beloved kitten Smog was killed by a car. Her little kitten brother was beside himself. She couldn�t be far...but where..
His little striped paws pattered the wooden floors searching, searching, questioning nature's womb
But he never found her.
The confused eyes .... asking me, begging me to explain.
Words useless anyway between cat and human
useless useless, a fire burning naked of heat
No words
what poverty
Humans so superior because of speech
why?
We communicate nothing, we hide behind our putrid words
NUMB
Words incarcerated
Your eyes, piercing my core
Staring, I saw your soul,
you saw mine like noone else before,
I bared my spirit
naked offering of all I am
Seeing your face through my kisses
Exploring our senses,
canine teacher,
you taught me to sense you
A mere glance formed the utterance of my soul.
Words rendered useless,
experience fathoming description.
Forever silenced ...
it is in silence I feel you the strongest.
December 1998
MY WARRIOR:
The spirit�s gentle footsteps cross
the plains of many landscapes
Erupting kaleidoscopes
the scent of strange people,
spicy fare and foreign flowers
Melting experiences
mould the solid core,
already magnificent
into a pounding ocean
*** this page is dedicated to the memory of Anton Warburton, my lover and friend. I love you Ants, and always will.
