(for Daleen)
Now that we are apart and divorced, again and again,
you do try to kiss me and embrace me
while the only thing in my heart is great pain
and from this life and living I want to be free
but the heart's persistence leaves no disgust,
only talks with its secret own sincerity
tries to find and device some trust
to affect in an unknown way how life is going to be
but like the sea washing out on the shore forever more
in my heart there now is an icy chill
in the place where I did you greatly adore
and it does beat with a broken will
constantly becoming more and less
trying to find a way out as it does know best.

I would like to translate this poem
Reminds me of the song FOOLISH BEAT popularized by DEBBIE GIBSON... Nice poem, Gert....
