never

ill never again make love with lisa

and i'll never again write a poem
like the poems i have written before about lisa
i'll never again lie with her and watch her move with me
i'll never be able to do that again
and there are some ways of writing poems
that i won;t be able to do again

i can see her body moving as i insist it moves
as though it was some dream

from which i had to awaken

This poem touches me deeply with its sorrow...
As a fellow poet, I remember this feeling very well. I wrote a poem in iambic octameter once, for a soulmate of mine who was my lover for about a year. But after it was over between us and I realized i'd never make love to him again, I never again found the motivation to write poetry in iambic.
