Sylvia and Ted

[JTParreira]

When you were with me
I never could die

My eyes wandered
without you, my fear had noises
all the steps, the shadows
were solid things

When I wrote the death
it scratched out sheets of paper
but when you were with me
I was for lasting the entire life

Your legs
supported my falls.

Wonderful tribute to their volatile, somewhat tragic love - and a great conclusion!

When you were with me
I never could die

So true. And death when turned opposite.

This is really well done, JT, especially S3 and 4, wow.

I'm reading Plath's journal now. I have not yet reached the point where she meets Ted. Should be interesting.

Nice work.

Nice poem. The last lines are wobderful.
