Final Thoughts (For Joycelyn) Poem by Kyle Schlicher

Final Thoughts (For Joycelyn)



our
love
transcends this life.

your eyes may close.
the light
may
leave
your soul.

your hand
may
grow cold
as
i hold it
for the last time.

your lips
may
not respond
to our final kiss.

my heart
may
beat
alone
once you have departed.

all this is acceptable
for
we are forever
and
our
love
transcends this life.
