PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

foolishly
I allowed you
to serve me
your 'Dandelion Wine'
and for nearly two years
I hip swayed tipsy
through your swerving words' strife
you impatiently handed me
your many a tattooed page
on love, heart break, lack of love
old friends, God, grief and even
rage's very own misguided sage
and then just as suddenly
that same life took you away
I'm learning to live with your absenteeism
as I am finding you have always been
a strange sort of lover like magician
I cannot pretend to fully understand
the diminished post
I have been given
this loving from a far bit
seems to be far more
up your articulate alley
than mine
I'm just a woman
after all
digging in a pit
making her way towards
some semblance of a life
she has not had
for far too long a time..............
