Footnote: Tanka's Suggestion

Lover and Poet:
let the lover, in you, rest
as the pain subsides.
And let the poet, in you,
bear quiet witness to that.

My dear its been 20 years

My dear its been 20 years just read my poem 'no signs of life', somethings there is no getting over,  my marriage was stale but I changed it and I am so glad I chose To stay, A lot of things happened a long the way, some setbacks some realisations etc. buts its really great now, no more takingeachother for granted. I promise it gets easier. The truth is (if you have ended your marriage), and you are till swooning over someone who has proved not constant with their affections you are missing out on some wonderful person who is. Be thankful some recovering addicts never recover fully. The drug owns them, if not their sins to obtain it will. the hurt, it fades... I promise, A hell of a lot quicker with someone less distracted and more attentive in your life! You deserve more, everyone deserves more than they usually settle for. HugSS
