Click herethere were tell tale signs
etched in poetry-
illegible scribble in a journal,
pre-computer days.
almost as if attempting
to disguise the pain.
recollections I can't recall.
words i failed to write
and can't forget.
the times you played golf
'til 11:30 at night
and
came home smelling
as if you
just
showered.
the leather date book
you covet
received from "a vendor"
that same christmas we said
it's over.
where would we be
had it not been for therapy?
"try to look at life
from his perspective,"
she said.
i did.
7 years later i'm digging out
my perspective,
brushin' off the dust,
hangin' it over the fireplace
yep. that's my point of view.
it's not that difficult to interpret-
just look at the tell tale signs
etched in my poetry.

J.Doeover 18 years agoI'll ignore the lack of capitalization to puncutation to say this is a good poem. I like the ideas you shared in this piece.
RhymeFairyover 18 years agoYes, living life to the fullest is hard to do. I feel you here my friend. I see you wiping that book cover off and just stairing at it. I love how you express your feelings here too. Just a great look at your etched poetry ~
