One Last Goodnight Kiss

one last goodnight kiss
on a cheek that is so cold
the finale of this amazing 
chapter feels like a lonely,
dark cave of unpredictability

here i am consumed in the 
center of a calm quiet that i
will never feel ever again
i feel so blank....so sad....so
bewildered....so lost....so gone

one last goodnight kiss
as i say goodbye and i love
you for the last time ever
it is the beginning of the 
green phase of life without
you....i ask questions....i make
wishes....i pray prayers based 
on imagination....i miss you with
such an incomparable rapidity

here i am consumes in a
painstakingly lonely realm of grief
and heartache....i have regrets....i
wonder why....i think of what if....i
write journal entries in my mind....i 
put my thoughts to paper....i begin to
craft them into poems....they become my
outlet....i think i am pretty good at it....i call
myself Poetic Lefty....i wonder if you would be 
proud of me....to the beach i go....smiling
brightly in then contentment of precious memories of you

I remember the last kiss I gave my son and his cheek was also so cold. His heart beats in me every second of every day and I hope you feel that too. Wonderful poem, Marty.
