Reverie....... Poem by delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........

as I asked for love
and
fidelity
of the heart, mind and soul....
perhaps without equal reciprocation.....
I was no Virginia...he was no Leonard.....
in retrospect...we were harder-edged circles,
penetrable on rare occasions...
.we did not belong to ourselves.....
how could we....we bathed in our own reflections.....
we were beautiful....we were flagrant, compulsive in our wounded ways......we asked the implausible of one another........
.the questions, and the answers, I more than suspect,
were known by our German shepherd..
.his eyes tried to tell us the simpler secrets...

what is remembered...what is lost....what is learned....
