I only remember your face lit by my cigarette
The silence that drove me
and drew me into being content with standing

Frozen still in a winter storm
Stuck into a frame of loose fingers to a pen
a paper in my palm that is always void of poetic verse

Swollen and sensitive to touch
A bruised conscience
Lost in a flux of words that were never spoken

A fleeting moral value that
escaped from my impressionable youth
Aged to a blemished contentment
with standing so perfectly still

This as all things
escaped from my grasp in a winter storm [comments] => 4 [counter] => 191 [topic] => 48 [informant] => youknowwho [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Goodness, you know how to grab a reader's attention, hold it firmly, and then set it down gently. What a write! Bravo!
Going to check more of your stuff.
Wow.
