I can see
Your eyes

They’ve noticed
I keep checking
The watch
Which in fact
I rarely wear

I am very
Uncomfortable
Of course
With who it is
You think you’re
Speaking to . . .
After all
It’s been awhile

The sun goes down
On the lamp lit shore
I can hear the ringing
Of distant bells

What’s the point
Of talking about
The good life
We didn’t share

And that was
Only possible
Because you
Weren’t there

Kind of reminds me of that Doobie's song, "What a Fool Believes."  Great write.

I love this.  Acid, compact, and forceful.

Oh, but there IS a point - in fact there are many points - this beautiful poem, for one - and working through the pain, for another, and coming out the other side in peace and gratitude for the dreams.
