Poem no. 1: The End <\/p>\n
And when you came to me,
\nIt was with soft words –
\nGentle to my ear.
\nHoneyed with need for me –
\nDropping from your lips like morning nectar. <\/p>\n
Sweet phrases tasted on my tongue. <\/p>\n
When you left me here
\nThere was no sense of ending;
\nJust sour relief.
\nCessation from battle.
\nTime apart to lick our wounds. <\/p>\n
Watching a hawk swoop, later,
\nSilent, focused, over empty autumn fields,
\nI understood the time was past;
\nThat nature would ebb and flow around me
\nBut our cycle was done. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
