I remember the sounds


Of my neighbors children


Moments ago.


Gone are they now


They will not echo long,


I think, In my memory


Or in the cosmos.


 



They were


And now they are not.


Yet they were


And for a few moments


Of my life,


I said, "They Are."


 



The children have gone to supper


And to bed.


But still I hear their forays:


"You're it,"


"I got you,"


"You are dead."


 



The waves of their sound


Now are dead


And they have gone to supper


And to bed.



Tomorrow


And


Tomorrow.



And


Tomorrow?



1981

Bittersweet, nostalgic write; and powerfully penned, Addie.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
