Recovery


                                    I thought I had loved before.
                                    Like a chaotic wave
                                    it hit me...
                                    I had not!
                                    It was the dream of love.
                                    Yearning.
                                    Starving.
                                    Feeding myself,
                                    for I felt I would die
                                    if I did not love.
                                    and die I did for years.
                                    Decades.
                                    Fooling myself.
                                    Let suffering be
                                    my lover,
                                    my demon,
                                    my hell.
                                    Loving you
                                    is the phenomenon
                                    that tore my eyes open.
                                    I had never loved before.
                                    I had only touched
                                    a dream.
                                    You are not a dream.
                                    You are the the first
                                    that I have ever
                                    loved.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
