SAD VISITOR by Charles P. Ries Source: The Last Time, (2005) p.24 She'd come sometimes at the oddest moments. Popping up out of no where. Visiting last night in my dream she wore only a purple bra, garter and stockings. Even her small triangular tuft of pubic hair was purple. It always surprised me when she appeared in just this way. I ran my hand over the soft curve of her ass. She touched my face and I could see she was sad. Sad to be visiting in this lost lover's shadow. In a blink I am carried to the street below her downtown apartment. We yearn for each other, but she does not invite me in as we slowly evaporate into night mists sailing home to empty bodies. ------------------------------------ Poet's Inspiration Behind The Poem "Sad Visitor": I had just broken up with a woman I had dated for two years, and one night she appeared in my dream. -------------------------------------- Editor's Rating: 3.5 Reader's Rating: (not yet rated.) |
