Here's To Never Again Poem by Odey Patrick

Here's To Never Again



So once again
I sneaked
More than a furtive glance
your way, then the mental art
Of a Kiss upon your
tender lips. Just then
I felt the familiar flutterings
below my pounding heart,
the dewy witness over
my blushing palms,
and the quick cold rush
through my twitching nostrils
as my eyes swam,
and faint I felt
before your dazzling
presence yonder.

I caught myself halfway
through a smile, frowning,
as I watched you smile and laugh
at some joke or wit,
Then a mental note
to flourish my ears
with the clips from calls
we shared, days sweet but past.

Just then Guilt came calling
Upon the heels of regret,
quick at the wake of wistful thoughts,


So I, steeled again, my egostic will
and umpteenth time said to me ' Tis
all for the best '.
Turning my head which felt
like some rusted wheel,
I pretended my business to mind
as I glumly looked away.
