Tee and Creative Community - Part 4 - Hear and Now, A Eulogy

HEAR AND NOW

A Eulogy
by Donna Lee Taylor

I wrote for you
each line brought to life
for you to experience
each syllable born
so I could experience
your response.


I wrote poetry with passion
for you
every breast and curve
every cunt and pearl
every breath and whisper
I described for your erotic ear.

I wrote stories of struggle
for you.
each pain revisited
each fear surmounted
each thought provoked
each strength challenged
each weakness revealed
I admitted
for your loving perception.

I long to bring you more --
one more spicy appetizer
one more purple platter
five courses of words
and dessert
to hear you exclaim
one more time --
"Delicious!"

I ache to offer
a sly juxtaposition
to hear you chuckle,
a bit of wit
to hear you laugh,
a line made sensual
to hear you moan,
a piece completed
knowing you'd tell me
to publish NOW.
