Mind Fills Wildly

Many holes in this love
Mind fills wildly
Wishful potential now more substantial
Than the days of our affair

Clinging & clutching
We pledged not to do:
promises you fulfilled
promises I failed

What lessons, this great love:
Now is not our time;
perhaps Never is?
Heart is hungry, not open?

Neruda’s wisdom stings:
Love is so short,
Forgetting, so long
