A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

to a girl I once knew

 

 

fire massages

burnt bones fall skyward in flux

your smile ascends

Yes I've been to busy and on the run downside. I always like when I make time for the café.
Jacob,

Obviously, you are a man who is fully aware that the three most beautiful things that make for a gorgeous woman are as per my poem of years ago, Within Her Eyes, Her Smile, Her Laughter Sweet ... Enjoyed this piece very much, as I do hope you can tell ...

What an impact she had, all these years later. The fire can’t burn her spirit or erase her memories from your heart. May you always see her smiling dear J.
