This is for you:

Looking into the silent abysm
I can still hear my heart beating
and from far I sense the gentle voices
of the ones (like you)
not yet gone
so I stay
a little longer
sensing the melody
of the love we share
so I remain
awakening my senses
to fulfil a life fully lived 
 

I walk the endless streets of London
my tears washing my face
mixed with droplets of rain
falling, cascading
dropping
into puddles of rain water
reflecting light and shadow
so I remain
dreaming another dream
within a dream 

a wake inviting me
to remain
sheltering me
with purple poetry
filling me 
with art, music and love
my heart
nurtured 
with bright beauty and kinship
(like yours) 

Thank you
