I AM THEREFORE I THINK

 

I am

therefore

I think

 

but Latin maxims

and Greek lust

overwhelm my system

 

and you, my dear,

remain in my thoughts

tough miles separate us

 

My fancy is

ignited by

visions of folly

 

and the splendor

of the moment

goes unshared

 

The misadventures

of the fools

is our course

 

all the sunsets

and moonlight walks

can not return

 

The past is past

and we are still

separated by geography

 

The spectre of

those things of past

shines unrequited love

 

and unrequired passion

is supposed to wane

but I’m not so sure it does
