My tombstone reads
Noli Me Tangere
In death as was in life
I would not love-born
Children bear
To no man be a wife
And should they seek
A lock of hair
I gave instead a knife
Noli Me Tangere
My linens read
And only as I pleased
The truest words
I ever said
Thought nothing but a tease
But into dark
Betrayal’s bed
I feel then by degrees
Touch me not
Was my sweet song
To all may it be heard
There is no world
Where I belong
As falconer or bird
To seek in me
A passion strong
Is nothing but absurd

saddens me – perhaps that’s how Mary Magdalen felt
Yes, it may well have been. It always seemed such an interesting phrase – touch me not. π
This is so very sad. There have been times in my life where I can say I identified with the last stanza. Beautifully written, Dear Sis. π Have a wonderful week. π
Thanks Skye, hope you have a great week too! π
