you were no goddess

you were no goddess

 

still I built a shrine to you

therein placed an icon  

white skin lightly freckled

crowned with red

 

the worship of you began

there on the floor

under heavy smoke

your body being giving to me

 

in trade taking my heart

but making no use of it

after that night       you    

refused to acknowledge my existence

thinking about someone from long ago

emptiness

 

in 1968

I was looking for a lover

found what seemed to be

a friend

at times walks with my friend

would lead me to solitude

Old friend

 

If I could control my thoughts

I would never think of you again

as it stands now

much time is spent

trying to recall

just what kind of friends we were

taking meals and drinks together

made me feel close

our walks around town

gave me joy

still it seems

a mystery

what joys you found in me

septrate ghost

separate ghost

 

i saw her walking

walking alone

where we once went

hand in hand

 

she did not see me

nor did she want to

i know this because she said so

on our last day together

 

sight of an old lady in black

brings back memories

of a girl young and red

when my touch gave her joy

Like a ghost tethered to place I find myself going on streets where I had good times in the past.   I don’t see many people from my past but on a certain street at times I see a lady that once held me close.
