Coldness

A river in November
strokes the bank
earth falls, tumbles
into nothing

a memory, muddy
scar on the clean surface
the only sign
it was ever there

however, it reminds me
of your love, not
yet cold but faraway.

Nice simple words to describe a love becoming distant.

Thank you too, Hilary. You have written quite a bit, and I wish you excellent commercial success. My wife and I wrote a few too, not much moola made, but we enjoy in sharing our work. It takes much marketing, just too much energy required from me at the moment. Re my poem above, sometimes I write as simply as I can, since I can be verbose at times. Cheers, Richard LP
