It’s Friday, time for Six Word Fridays over at Making Things Up. Melissa prompt this week is “treat.” As usual, I have written a poem with six-word lines. This week, I am adding a link to My Poems.
Just Once More - 10/29/10
Treat me to one more kiss
soft lips, sweet breath of dying.
Give to me one more touch
fingers tracing my face, my shoulders.
Treat me to your belly laugh
dissolve me into tears with it.
Wash my back again, water warm,
gentle caresses down to my spine.
Lie with me naked in your
arms, legs pulled up to fit
the curve of mine as silent
tears flow down my cheeks, knowing
you are leaving me, taking the
air from the room as you
love me with tender words, whispering
“Darling, its been a great ride.”

Jesus, CJ. That was beautiful and made me choke up. Very powerful.
This is really breathtaking.
and now my heart is broken. I agree: breathtaking.
Visceral stuff, CJ. And so beautiful.
Why does pain make such great poetry?

Beautifully breathtaking. A treat to read.
This is very visceral. Honestly it kind of made me blush, and reminded me of oh too many heart breaks!
A great ride -- can be tricky?
The real treat was reading this.
Beautiful, sad, inspiring, heartfelt. You brought a little tear to my eye.
