POEM

 

Alone with the emptiness

Of no return

I feel the nudge

Of your head

Beneath my hand

 

I smell puppy breath

And look for you

In the shadows

But only see

The path of fate

 

How was I to know?

Love could not

Outrun the years

When my mind

Could no conceive

Nor could my heart believe

There would ever be

A last day with you
