By Cordell Rich
I remember your shoulders
and your skin in the light
your flames coursing through my veins
quenched only by your presence
scars burned deep into my future
to mourn some later date
every memory a tear upon my flesh
a tapestry of regret now scarred and healed
my every breath an invocation
to a God long wearied by my pleas
desperate I cry out
the moons silence my rebuke
my thoughts tremble at the question
if I but had the courage
would you be with me now
