bittersweet realization

you’re in my dreams
you’re so deep
occasionally i check your weather
sit back, “pull it together”

sometimes i feel you near
feel your laugh as you see the leather
sad to say, i see you as the center
everything else is just a dresser

the pressure, the sweater
how i sought a treasure and lost my shelter
it’s all never, it was all for pleasure
my letter, essentially a joke

it was all baroque
broke the egg and took the yolk
one day i’ll awake, have a stroke
awake and think of you
forget it was gone — remember the bomb

my sudden thoughts, where are you?
sit confused as i find you fused
remember your smooth, the way i loved you
unconditionally to say
the days, the way, all the words

another life, another time
some cafe around may
you’ll sway and an array of emotions will leave me frozen
i’ll remember the ocean, the motions and all the devotion
i’ll stand there, read you a poem and realize i never lost him
