FLESH to ASHES



         The photos of the woman
          I loved and still do
          are arrayed on a table
          by the bed we shared
          Her flesh has turned to ashes

          Her flesh in that bed
          was a silky warmth
          addictively wonderful
          nightly available until
          her flesh was turned to ashes

          My memory of her in life
          is welded in my consciousness
          Her talk, her touch, her presence
          living with me still, although
          her flesh has turned to ashes

A suggestion: try my novel, THE PENCIL ARTIST, on Kindle
