Poetry: Death of a parent

by Gabriel Duffy

Created on: August 02, 2010

Say Nothing

Roaring winds heavy snowfalls beat

At the door unable to enter

Within the ancient cottage

The flames dance high and low

Casting our shadows from

Floor to ceiling as we warm

Before the orange glow

Our clothes lay to one side

Of the fire to dry

Our nakedness is no barrier

For within love is not that

So?

The water boils in its container

 The drink is

Reassurance against the wind

Strutting and the snow building

White walls to hide graves

Is fortune a way of wealth

To have a love that takes

Control

Leaving you locked in an intimacy

That rejuvenates the soul

A desire you never knew existed

Until now

Let us dance in the field of emotions

Let us wash in the sensual flow

Let us devour a love and seek

A burning that shows pain in Happiness.

Say nothing just don’t go.
