It never happened.
It’s only a dream,
a nightmare. I will wake up,
stifle a scream.
27 years is a drop in eternity.
It’s nearly half my life:
to live with a woman;
a friend, a lover, a wife.
She came, she saw,
she conquered; asked for a light,
accused me of cradle snatching.
Oh, what a night.
‘Twas the end of an era;
the beginning of a new.
We will live forever,
if only we knew.
She died in pain,
strong and unrepentant;
she lived her life on the edge,
always impatient.
Live for the moment.
Carpe Deum! Seize the day!
Memories are memories.
What more can I say?
It never happened?
It’s only a dream,
a nightmare? Bereaved?
You might know what I mean.
