Twenty Love Poems and A Song of Despair

soochie

“I remembered you with my soul clenched in that sadness of mine that you know. Where were you then? Who else was there? Saying what? Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly when I am sad and feel you are far away?”

Another's. She will be another's. As she was before my kisses. Her voice, her bright body. Her infinite eyes. 

I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her. Love is so short, forgetting is so long. 

Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
