Notes About The Poem
5/16/20206 for Actualization of Affection Poetry Contest sponsored by Ink Empress
Feel Me in My Silence
my dear
feel me in my silence
our time to speak is done
we had our day
and what a day it was
never before
or after
have I felt love so intensely
it was mutual
later, you called it puppy love
I think it was more
maybe, you're right
maybe, even now, I don't know mature love
I was too selfish
lacking generosity
worse, I couldn't really hear that old lady
when, at the mall, she said,
"keep her"
now, I'm, too, an old man
we've changed
but I have the same flaws
we had our day
but, I think it's important -
in the fourth quarter
to give myself the gift
to remember
and honor
what we had
I hope you do, too
feel me in my silence
my dear
