The Poet and The Shadow

The poets pen we shared together

has run out of indelible ink~

The last chapter has been written

sweet words I no longer drink...

Your free spirit within the pages

drifted from east to west~

A chapter in this novel

I wondered...but issues

went unaddressed...

The chapter...Unfaithfulness

turned out to be a  volume,

 a volume of mysteries and lies...

The saga of our love is over

the woman...I hope you find

A mystery about you I write

once upon a time...

You the main character in this book

and me on sands of true hearts bay~

You Mr Butterfly...fluttering around

Madam Butterfly I portray...

This drama I write in pages of my mind

 you could of starred on broadway~

but Mr Butterfly...now a shadow 

a shadow in a neighborhood play.

I was lucky. I was station in Monterey, Ca. in 1991-1993. A lot of writers sat in coffee shops. They wrote, play the game of chess and shared advice. This poem reminded me of the old men and woman. There was a sadness in them. Writers need reason and purpose to write. When we run out of reasons to write. What is left? I like the way you brought to life thoughts and places. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

I sense the deep pain and disappointment in this honest write that is full of unaddressed issues between both of you ...I also feel a little sarcasm towards his wily ways...Bravo...:)
