(mostly) short poems on life and love

bittersweet and blue

October 14, 2018 by Michael Guerin

without a single word
your clear brown eyes
reach out across this distance

and cut me to the bone
and lay my falsehoods bare
in ways bittersweet and blue

which leaves my spirit empty
and hungry
to hold some truth.

i doubt if you remember
such a slivered slice
of space or time and i wonder

what you’re doing
and how your life has been
in the silent traces of an hour

filled with recollections
bold and blue
as my thoughts melt into you.
