Your hand trembles
As it reaches out
For the glass of wine

One wants to laugh
Sadly at how badly
You’ve put the make-up on
Of course your hair is dyed

The years have worn
My face into a stoic cast
You search for some semblance
Of affection remaining in its
Stony gaze

Well then why not

At last
If only for the love I had
I smile— your eyes light up
We talk as if in fact no time
Has passed away

You’re happy . . .
It’s all I ever wanted
Even now too late

Two sparrows
Perched under
An autumn sky

Sometimes it takes just a smile to bring happiness and ... a sensitive heart.

I love this poem very much, it tugs at my heartstrings.

You really have created an emotion charged atmosphere here.

The ancient story of Easter Island is indeed a sad one. You have redeemed it somewhat here in a most unexpected way.
