when love, like a rocket
explodes in the empty space
of eternal’s final abyss
or in the early mist of
morning’s arrival
i think only one thought
& feel the throbbing of
only
one
heart
and when peace echoes
in the bottomless pit of my soul
in the twilight of my years
i picture only one face
& I seem to reason
only
through
haste
then memories of my fleeting
yet full filled past
remind me of loves, long lost and yet
i only seek one hand
to place upon it
a precious band
when fear engulfs my body
or anger leads to wrath
i only, without pause
call for sandi
to speak the words
i need.
