Insanity

After all these years: Finally : I stand at the “Pearly Gates”
          St. PETER and a Myriad of Angels on the distant Heaven Shore
                                                                                              ““WAITS”
        GREEN EYES Twinkling , long AUBURN HAIR I Always Adore
   My DEAREST  ONLY BELOVED My Life, My Wife: My HEARTBEATS
                                                                                                “” FOR””
   (YOU can’t possible LOVE Me) YOUR Old and Grey : YOU I DO deplore
      Hurting from LIFE, Now hurting in Death : I’ve lost my love LENORE
                                                                                             “”LENORE””
      I should have been with HER: 36 years ago; in the Blue Caribbean Sea 
      Maybe JILL and RHODA would truly see : how much I LOVE THEM
                                                                                                 “” FOR “”
                                                                                                  “”ALL“” 
                                                                                           “” ETERNITY “”
  MY Young LOVE : LENORE : would YOU give an Old man a KISS                             
     A POET YOU once knew in Youth  Entwined Together: such Bliss
                                                                                               “” THIS”” 
                                                                                                  “” IS “”
                                                                                               “” HELL””

              After all these years: Finally : I stand at the “Pearly Gates”
         St. PETER and a Myriad of ANGELS on the distant Heaven Shore

                       ( Inspired by a Comment of JILL MARTIN   2/5/07 )
                                                                                                                                                    
                                     Dedicated to RHODA GALGIANI
