Lesbian Poetry

In Your Snowlit Hair

leaves drift down
a gray and withered autumn morn
chilled emotion and bathed in tears
you saw me there, my skin flushed,
eyes swollen
you waved and faded, dampened mist
heart's enamoured satin blush
i watched you go
raised my fingers to your love's
wraith
i want to go with
you
can't you bundle me
warm in your snowlit hair, or
sewn in your gown's low hem
i can not stay here
alone
why can't you see
no memory's balm can heal this...
no lips' embrace or shining eyes in
my fevered mind
will ease this sorrow and loss of
hope
you warned me long ago tho didn't you...
your baby, you murmered , low
in that voice i will hear forever
your baby, lost, didn't you
hear my plea?
my Mother Queen, please
why couldn't you just stay...
one
more
minute
while time stood mute and
still
why did you tell me
you could have killed me in love
laid me down in your soul and carried me
out to sea
and there, pyre upon pyre, built so
fair
in silver light and passion's fire
why...?
i live now
alive here in chill and leaves falling
not in your low hem
not in your snowlit hair...
you waved goodbye and faded from
me
from my love
from my heart
from my world
why...
didn't you take
me
