Nest Of Straw Poem by Eric Cockrell
Nest Of Straw
if i make you a nest of straw,
and a firepit of mud...
and we make love in the moonlight,
in perfect rhythm with the wind,
will the silence know your name?
and when you arise with the dawn,
and step to the edge
to try your wings...
will you look back
just for an instant?
will you leave a tear
on a budding leaf?
and if by faith i believe,
in spite of, despite of....
and give you the body of my soul...
will you leave a marker by my grave?
The greatest love poem I have ever read this year.A stunning masterpiece! Thank you again and again!

The last line changed everything and leaves everything ambiguous, do you mean that she is the security by which you leave the remainder of your life with or do you mean that she imparts despair by causing your demise. Personally I like to think that you have someone who remembers you when you are gone and that love casts death aside by remembering those we depart. But Im probably wrong Beautiful work Mr Cockrell, bet if you read your girl this you'll get her into tears
