Frederic Parker Poet Quatrain

Never Meet Again

Take the loves I've had, throw them far
Let the pains I felt disappear
As we will never meet again
In my mind's eye where they were clear

To wrestle with enduring pain
And fight it daily in the mind
To defeat as to why they stay
Purifies the soul, to remind

To be a clean and polished slate
And hold a love my heart will know
With new dreams that burst forth now
I'll leave my pains from long ago
