for Monika…………..

the tug at my heart

bore a small hole

couldn’t find

the plug

to control

the weeping

seeping

had no pain

had no shield

to avoid

the continual rain

i missed you

you hadn’t left the room

knowing ……..leaving

and distance

doesn’t change a thing

ties

bonds

keep each near

smile

let me hear you laugh

so that

ease surrounds me

smile

1 more time

that i may sleep

with that in mind
