I am utterly drowsy

in the kindness

of your love

though once

much too swiftly

snatched from it

still

so very true

I remained

in the wake

of your

misfitted absence

the death of such

emotional distance

did not quite kill

but rendered me

numb

and now

in the blessed storm

of your so welcomed

Return

be quite aware

that no one

but thee

could ever adequately fathom

my current unstoppable joy

as

the gift of your eagerly

renewed enthusiasm

is

of itself

the finest reward

to my thankful heart

which gives such glorious birth

to so very much promise

in the hope filled soul

oh, how I do love you thus so

such love could never be changed

even while we were thoughtlessly

estranged

to me

you always had that claim

it is only all the more

stronger now

much more certain

though

in its latest reign

(if that is even possible)

but never doubt

that I need your

beautiful influence

in my life

as

no matter how we may wish it

otherwise

it is prearranged

in the subtle blend

of the conspiring cosmos

so my having been

so brutally ripped away

quite unexpectedly

from the essential fiber

of your life

though for some yet known

reason

perhaps was necessary

still, I must admit

it killed me just a little

inside

where upon

the next so dreaded time

I fear

such wretched shredding

of my far now too involved

heart

such loving creature

that it is for me

won't be so very lenient.........
