The house is packed
a life that never should’ve been
now in boxes

some things
remain
till last minute

this desk
this connection
the heart that hangs to my left
deep blue tassel

it is yours
you sent it to me
along with key
already found

does it still fit

by nature
I wonder
always

not about the love
that
I believe
as certainly
as my fingertips
upon you

but still
I wonder
not knowing whom to blame
or thank

the gods
have not spoken lately

and I really miss
their thoughts
on this

my love for you
will carry on
whatever morning brings

if you are here
or not

I love you

Oh, Dunc...I hate when that happens...and? love does endure...

okay...laugh if y'want...but I think of love as "flubber" (remember that old movie) that amazing substance that just increased its own energy every time it bounced off still yet another "obstacle"?

oh...pssst...maybe the gods ARE talking love...sssh....get still, and listen?

Love this. Hugs you...and btw...y'COULD have written that scrip...I would not have argued...sighs...

Have I ever told you that are adorable when you are a moth
Have missed reading your heart dear D.
ya make me mothy heart smile

In the space between now and then
I lost the fire, lost a friend
and Ill never be the same again
Still, I believe in the innocence
we gave away.

Duncan - I'm not sure why this is, but I'm reading poems about my very thoughts this morning, of which this is one. This is a very good write of feelings...

My friend.... their is nothing I can say that conveys the thoughts in my head and the feeling inside when I read this. It touches me...that will have to suffice.

Sometimes, as our Cap'n says...
we just have to let you know
that you touched us...

and nothing else
needs be said.

If you are here
or not
I love you...

This touches me deeply, Duncan...
It reminds me of the time, right after my first husband died,  when I had to sort through all of his stuff...
and sometimes it felt like he was still here right next to me and telling me what to do with it... and other times, I just couldn't find him anywhere...

..."If you are here or not, I love you."

I cannot help but think, that in some way or another, the converse may also be true. For how could she not still have love for you whether you are together or not---for he who is capable of writinge words such as these, is surely a beautiful, sensitive and caring soul worthy of love.

If you are here...or not
I love you

That says it all, so what can I say?
I love this write?... doesn't seem to be enough, but for now, it will have to do.
