poetry break #4
“
the heat
you left with me
last night
still smolders
the wind catches
your scent
and refreshes
my senses
i am a leaf
falling from your tree
upon which i was
impaled
”

Poetry Break #1
I love a good poem. There are some that make me cry, some that evoke memories (good and/or bad), and some that just take my breath away.
I would like to share with you one of my favorites:
A Poem Of Friendship
We are not lovers
because of the love
we make
but the love
we have
We are not friends
because of the laughs
we spend
but the tears
we save
I don’t want to be near you
for the thoughts we share
but the words we never have
to speak
I will never miss you
because of what we do
but what we are
together
~ Nikki Giovanni
