Mind The Gap

Alone,

we are ageless

together

in the heart

of our precious now.

A relentless wedge

of image and vanity,

gossip and innuendo,

acceptable and

most certainly not,

dashes our agelessness into

an insurmountable chasm of years.

That diabolically grand canyon

stands between us,

you on one distant rim,

I on the other.

An eagle soars

clutching my heart

with blood stained talons.

Ann, Thanks for the invite to M ILLNESS and your comment on Mind The Gap.

Do you have any suggestions on how to improve it and tighten it? I cannot pretend that it is completed.
I think I can still make it better.

I like the push and pull of this.
