Notes About The Poem

I Exhorted Her To Remain

Insisted she stay. 
I mock her staying. 
My gray hair strains her. 
Don't censure, I fear for you. 
My wrinkles return. 
Don't trespass. 
I care, as you lunge. 
When I cheat, I tremble. 
Regardless Heartbeats continue. 
My broken bones were boring. 
How could you go astray? 
She rambles 
**** 
My ideal zest isn't average. 
The quest isn't now. 
Nighttime gloom doesn't last. 
Yesterday's light follows today's. 
Streaming describes life. 
Fair day replaces question day. 
Life abandons you. 
Keep birch wild. 
Fun and happiness abound. 
Ken's fire is terrible. 
Even if everyone hates you. 
Remember what's important
