BALTIMORE, Maryland October 1, 2014 -
Poem No. 5
I wish your face was still in my sight.
I wish the looks upon it had lingered.
Love, those looks linger in my mind,
Probably forever
Life’s lessons never leave us unscathed
You knew that I had fallen recklessly.
And latched like hardened steel upon what was you
.......I could not pull back
Even as you apparently slipped loose
Life’s lessons never left me unscathed
The world moves on with or without me
The wretched find their lair
The lost bequeath the things they want saved
While the rest of us flail mordantly on
