Here is another poem that I wrote “forever” ago, for a lady who is forever gone now.
You were with me again last night
Forever and yet but a heartbeat
My ephemeral angel
My vision of joy.
Are you aware
Conscious of your visits
In my dreams
In my soul?
Forever and yet but a heartbeat
Like the passion we shared, years ago.
Do you remember?
I cannot forget
Though at times the memory stings
Lashes with sorrow’s whip
Wounds me deeply
Stabs at my soul
Yet I would sooner cut out my heart
Than any memory of you
I hold fast to the days when I had you
Hoping I’ll have you again
Forever and yet but a heartbeat
