I have so much to lose This world has burdened me With too much to be happy for Therefore you can no longer exist You can no longer be Death is not the beginning to this trilogy It is not the ending to your epic No beginning, no ending You simply do not exist So saith a small child and my heart Your poison will never reach my lips I will not let you get the last laugh The last tear, the last scream, the last breath What did you hope to accomplish anyway You're only the most important person to me If you're alive.

That last line IS alive. Wow. You continually WOW me like no one else. Like no one.

April, your poem haunts me. The message is clear. It is about death. I don't know anything about you, so I don't know what to say. For my own self, I've found denial to be my worst enemy. You might be interested in stopping by my site, if you haven't yet been there. In some of my poetry I menion denial, my novels are also about it. If you read them, maybe you'll see what I mean.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
