Love Poem: For J

For J

If every cloud had
a Silver Lining...
If lightning were only
illumination...
and our story together
had a happy ending --
then, I would write,
only Happy Faces.

But, pencil points break

a tear marks a page indelible
will not accept a word, tears
with every new impression
attempted -- 

I read a poem, a little while ago;
a sad poem...and your memory
returned -- A grave is so damn
insensitive! I know...get over it!
Stiff Upper Lip recalls your tender
moistening.
