Reflections at the Window Table

I still cannot forgive the rain
That seemed
With lamp and brick to covenant
And bless with wine
The path that wound me to the restaurant.
As well the candle yet I blame,
Though had I even once glanced out
I might have guessed
Romance is love
In counterfeit.

*gentle smile* Sometimes it is just that.

Bob, this is a superb example of title lending light to the poem. I like how you've put this rumination together. Oftimes wisdom follows much reflection. (o:

Well done and said RMW, and lovely too, thought I don't agree with the last two lines at all.

Bob, I have to say your thoughts intrigue me. I liked this one.
