the veil

Heather T

 

 

 

a thousand words 

between each line

a thousand days

one wisp in time

a touch, a kiss

a well placed rhyme

 

will you miss me

when I'm gone

 

a thousand tears

that burned my face

a thousand sighs 

that met each grace

a life that leaves

a fragrant space

 

I will miss you

when you're gone

 

ten thousand years

to write upon

ten thousand lights 

without the sun

I smell your hair

and I'm undone

 

just dream, love

I'm right here
