Notes About The Poem

Anniversary Chimes

A full moon early at the rendez-vous
Ushering delicate dulcet nocturnal chimes
On this day our anniversary

But is it a mirage or really you
There at our secret meeting place
Used to say you wouldn’t miss it for the world

The stars align and pivot in our favor

But is it a mirage or really you
Pulled by the allure of love that death cannot extinguish
At peace with a nonverbal bartering

That leaves me with the consolation
That you really are here
Of this I have no doubt
