SO LIKE A RIVER DEAD

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

I was thinking just now

back to a long misplaced ye

where did you go

you loved me once

but fluttered away

you bound yourself

in buttered words

and melted into some

unfamiliar flame

I read you not and

see you less

submerse myself no more

in your words of stunning

intensity

I let you go

as I thought it best

but here I sit today

remembering

your particular talent

to talk

and I find I miss the illusion

that I was once yours

even though we both

know I really never was

and 'So Like A River Dead'

we flow no more into each other..............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Recalling an old poetic flame that went out some two to three plus years ago. Just vaguely questioning the passing thoughts that came to me.

Very Good

And oh so true. Men have such a way with words and ladies have such a way of believing them!  But what else is there to do but trust in love and hope for the best? Love is such a fleeting and fickle thing.

Smiles............

and if we blink our eyes we may miss it..............so true.
