10/22 is the day you walked
back into my life
after a nine year absence

Remember Christmas?
I still have the card
You said
“I truly love you”

It’s all I have left
Of you

That and your wedding

A relationship gone awry seems to always give a poet an inspiration to write. Maybe the reason why is it provides a positive way to deal with the situation.

Enjoyed!

Enjoyed this

Pictures to me have always been a double edge sword
Cutting with joy and sorrow
Pictures are worth, so they say, a thousand word,
Takes yesterday into tomorrow

Mike,

Note the wedding pictures are of him and his wife, you know, the one he was seeing the same time as me...lol...dust in the wind. Thanks for reading.

Gloomy,

Yep..a double edged sword for sure...thanks for responding.

Ron,

Why didn't I think of that?? (Going to buy some darts today, maybe I can get that mustache).

Kar,

lol, Ron puts it into perspective. Thanks!
