three word wednesday january 14, 2009: entwine, forfeit, tryst

this morning i noticed the calendar
hanging on the wall
January 2009
it’s almost been a year
inanimate timeline
just out of reach
i cannot accept just yet
we talk almost every day
over lonely morning coffee
entwined we are
flesh and spirit
each night just before
i close my eyes
i turn reaching across
to your empty side
and kiss you goodnight
sweet dreams
i would forfeit
everything here
to be with you there
as always you smile
lean over, and
kiss me back
i cannot help
but long for you
i gently plead
when no one sees
a tryst of time
again, with you
a small forever
for a dear friend counting days without him. russ and linda a life interruped. linda, i love you dearly…. previous posts are here

Wow! Damn, how well and good I can relate my own station of reality these days in your poem!
As if you’d been inside my mind…wow!
I mean, of course there’s always something in a poem that one can relate to… BUT THE WHOLE POEM?!!
I love “Once More”!! …so beautiful sentiments are conveyed in words!
This is beautiful. I have only just accessed the whole poem. I was only getting the first half without the picture until I noticed where to press to read the rest. It’s so beautiful and so sad…’lonely morning coffee…entwined we are/flesh and spirit’.
beautiful and sad
That’s a tough one, the vacant space. And you served it well with inspired words.
this one hits way to close to hoe for me to make an intelligent comment…. beautifully dne…..
very touching and very dear. I am so sorry for your loss, only time will heal, make it bittersweet but then again not.
