Days  begin to fade away
Newport sunset lingers
dock begins to sway
sentimental thoughts
make my heart ache
but not
with the intensity
as before
images seem so fresh
I can reach out
and touch…
there is this very fine line
between love
and guilt
wrapped so neatly
in metaphors
our lives meshed together
and tore apart
humanity doesn’t hold a candle
to commitment and vows
we cling to the warmth
of tradition and familiarity ~
