This beautiful poem is very different from John's previously published work. Well-written with excellent imagery, it is unmistakaby John R. Yaws. - poetheart 08/21/01
With every single breath I draw-
And every beat of heart...
I long to hold you one more time,
And hate that we're apart.
I think of when the world stood still
And we were there together,
And made our foolish frantic vows-
"Eternity"! "forever"!
Passions flamed, and visions danced
Of Camelot, and all-
We were equally entranced,
By passions were enthralled.
And yet the stolid wheel of time,
Does on it's journey roll-
And fate doth write our destinies-
Upon it's ancient scroll.
And so it is, and so it goes-
But still I must confess,
I silently do breathe your name,
With every single breath.
by John R. Yaws
