Letters and Things

in case you are wondering
I kept the letters
they are tear-blotched
from rereading them
every few days
I'd never
let them wither away

I recall our flights of fancy
and sex
the things we did to the other
caused no small gasps
do you remember our confessions
you cried over yours
I was apprehensive over mine

which one of us could possibly forget
the flying of our words
a poetical love was ours
I have all of yours
you did not keep mine
I understand
why that was impossible

still, I wonder
if you secreted away some after all

Letters so black and white,
but the heart is not *Jerry*

Oh Jerry, I felt this poem deeply. I have a stack of love letters and things I've kept for many, many years. I also wondered if he kept any of mine. Moving poetry, Jerry ...

I mean, people don't just forget what they wrote, said, or felt! Of course she remembers each and every thing. Probably where your birthmark is! I know for certain I remember each and every thing about each lover, lover, and lover!

Love ya!

Mine got mostly thrown away or lost. Hers were either purchased cards or not worth keeping. Probably my most famous letter was ripped up and thrown into Sydney Bay.

Better hurry up and scan them, because that acid paper will quickly destroy all those wonderful sentiments as it dissolves itself.

Unique write, but then, you often are.

She retains a part of you; and it must be just as tenderly recalled. Moving write.

So tender and heartfelt
No looking back with regrets only with joy to have known her
Peace love and light

If not deep in a drawer then certainly in the depths of her heart.

The parting of a love you still hold onto

this simple whistful rendering evoked such a sadness in me...such a nice piece jerry
Reviewed by Lily of Lough Neagh C. Dennis-Woosley 8/17/2012
I see and feel this sadness
I see how important it was
those things shared, memories
held onto. The obvious love
you wished to hold onto. And
wonder if there was for her a
part of you that she held onto
also...

This must have been quite a time in this couples life. Two souls that bared their hearts and then had to walk away.

Love and Light

There is a great tenderness in this poem.
You try to make it light but you cherish something that is very very dear to you.
It’s great to have such a beautiful memories and to call them up every few days.

I enjoy this very much Jerry
