Analysis of Love of One’s Life.
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
Can I let it go?
The easy exchanges
Your adoring eyes
The jokes that
Didn’t seem
Funny to others.
Picnics.
Beach walks.
Rainy retreats
On the porch.
Music nights at Home.
Concerts and connections.
Introducing you
To some who could not
See the rare jewel in my embrace.
Fiancee for a while.
Entrancing with a smile.
Until the accident
The lingering
The Hospital departure
And Grief.
But your Belief
Assures of a certain Reunion.
Endless, painless.
It held me.
As Life moved along.
Love couldn’t be wrong.
