Ninety Seven Poem by Leria Hawkins

Ninety Seven
Date: December 3,2014

I died in ninety seven
With your whispers at my door
I lay down and went to heaven
Hope to find you on the shores
I died in ninety seven
With your hungry lips on mine
In my dreams you held me tightly
Overhead our stars aligned
I died in ninety seven
On the day you spoke my name
My heart and soul elated
Till I saw it caused you shame
I died in ninety seven
Because I couldn't understand
How you could steal my heart
But you wouldn't hold my hand
