Day 23 of Poetry Month...

                  I WILL SEE YOUR FACE IN DREAMS

 I will see your face in dreams

for a long, long time…

well actually, maybe not so much dreams, maybe

more like nightmares…no, that’s close, but

really that’s not entirely

fair because we did have some really good times, don’t

you remember?  Like the wedding reception, that was

very cool, I thought…and that trip to Rome--- well,

we didn’t actually go together but we did meet there just before your 

divorce was final, but then it turned out it 

wasn’t really final, so I had to fly home tourist class and you

didn’t fly home at all, so whenever I

think of you, it’s with mixed

emotions, somewhere between wanting to 

kill you and just wanting you to become 

maybe captured by terrorists and used

for target practice…But still,

there was something magical about the way

you…well, we won’t go into that now, but I will

see your face in dreams 

for a long, long time…
