Notes About The Poem

When I first submitted this poem to our publisher, I had two different copies: this Revised Edition was supposed to be submitted. I thought I had included this assertion to it, but I've been going through some severe health problems with my oxygen, struggling for air. I became lightheaded from an overworked heart pumping harder from working for the lungs. Created a stir and lost a lot of oxygen, dropping down as low as 64%. I'm a little better now, but permanently now on O2, 24/7/365. 

 

My Past Love

My late wife has told me; 
It was so easy to fall in love with me?

My late love; I saw a glimpse, 
And thought
She was a shiny thing!

My late love was shown my scars, 
When suddenly
It was easy to leave.

My late love taught me; 
Her desire was being left behind! 

What if this amazement of my late love, 
My wife, 
That she wishes to still stay by my side?

I love her blissfully!
