My bed without you
By Leith Plunkett
Bareback on a coat of fangs
a dream of wolves in the snow
Howling to the battle horn
heaving with hearted drum beat
A sacrifice of mascara tears
in the alter of tomorrows promise
I just want to reach out and touch you

Really loved the way you gave an emotion 'a story',...a time, a feel of long ago, yet relating to right now.
I got vision of an elder Indian, a chanting of spirit whilst a story took place,...totally loven your work man
