His lips
His lips His lips written January 1st, 2021 The formal farewell committee is with me at the airport seeing me off for my return flight home. I told him not to come that there would be no hiding love breaking my young heart. He comes anyway love pulling us relentlessly together. The boarding call wrenching me away from him and over the ocean to the life intended for me. A lifetime later he can't stop love pulling him towards the ocean. He stands at the shore looking back at our love across the water with me. I watch him turn away with a smile on his lips that no one knows. |

I read a poem about a relationship ending. It made me think of my first love so many years ago when I was an exchange student. This memory now, is not as sad as it once was, but is bittersweet. The result is not tears, but a smile. I also wanted to play a little bit with line breaks. The -ing verbs aren't really a rhyme, but I did drive myself crazy trying to fit them in at the ends of some lines.

A few lines from the inspiring poem: Times like this, by Richard Jones, in the anthology Gift of Tongues "I see she's gone for good. I count the minutes, the bricks in the wall, the money I'll need next week, the children we won't have. This small garden is the perfect size for my angry heart, for all the dark words that created this silence, for the emptiness which will survive in the solitude of desire, and for the rough grace which illuminates the soul poised between love and nothing."
