Bittersweet Poems
by
Paul E Sexton
It’s all
lost love
and bittersweet memories
and yesterdays
left behind.
They are haunted
by the faces
and words
of those
that they loved
that are
gone.
They talk
of nights,
silent
and still,
and an aloneness
that runs
deep.
When I read
the poets
I feel a little
sad,
but mostly
grateful.
My wife
may not be
perfect,
but she is;
reliable,
faithful,
sweet of disposition,
(usually)
pretty,
well organized,
bright,
creative,
and a very good kisser.
If she
were not
around,
I’d be
writing
lonely
bittersweet
poems
as well.
