[hometext] => About an old boyfriend who committed suicide
[bodytext] => note: Jay is my old boyfriend The 'you' in the poem is Jayden - my & Jay's best friend On December 28th We lost a lover, a friend Six months later We still grieve You hold me in your arms In the middle of nowhere The edge of the world You're thinking of him I can see it In the way you stareat the stars I can feel it When you pull me closer And your arms shake I can taste it When I kiss your cheek Salty streaks dampening my lips Mixing with my own tears Your hand slides off my shoulder And searches your back pocket Until you retrieve a photo With deep creases and worn edges A ripped off corner and faded colours IT was taken a month before the suicide He is there With his lips against my cheek The corners of his mouth turned upward While I laugh Pointing at the camera Alerting him of the picture And you lean over me With a grin to rival the Cheshire Cat Your arm extended The camera in your hand Next you pull out a lighter Which you pass to me You hold the picture to the sky And I light the edge We watch the flame Creep along the paper Engulfing the three of us Turning us to ash Which the summer breeze carries away Bringing us closer to heaven Closer to Jay So he knows he's always with us [comments] => 2 [counter] => 168 [topic] => 44 [informant] => SweetHeartDealer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Nostalgic )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
