How on earth we have found each other?
You asked in one of night messages
In the facebook groups its one way or another
On the same train we were passengers
We got off at the same station
We took the same street to the house
With roses and other flowers plantation
A home where you lived with your spouse
The carers teams you have to manage
Four times a day in a row
The aftereffects of covid brought fatal damage
His passing was a terrible blow
We were always supportive in hardships
Still the hard times remain like forever
You were fighting type 1 diabetes
It required a huge endeavour
We lived close together though miles away
Doing everything what should’ve been done
How on earth we have met one day?
Can’t recall now, my dearest one.

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

When she asks about your scar
she doesn't want to hear it's there
because fibroblasts grow quicker
than normal cells and form thick layers.
She wants to hear an exotic story
of daredevil adventure on the final frontier,
and to hear you exclaim modestly,
"It's just a scratch, really!"

The actual
act of
making love
is brief,
only lasts
for a
short time
but the
aftereffects
are forever.
Forgetting takes
very long,
can be hard
to erase
from the mind,
leaves a
lasting impression
that can
dig deep
into the heart.
