Miss

I miss her
Terribly, sipping
Hot tea with milk as
I watch the British drama
Series Dance to the Music of
Time musing on her smile a
Phrase she used her looks
Happy peeved sad and I
Think of how badly I’ve
Treated her and how
Wonderful she has
Been toward me
How I do not
Deserve her
Affection
Yet we
Are a
Couple
Bound by
Memories we
Share too close
Ever to stay apart.
The Eumenides the
Kindly ones whom the
Gods send to punish seem
To smile on us kindly not
At all vindictive rather
As though some bit
Of approval has
Attached to us
And I miss her
Terribly if
Only for
A few
Days
Until we
Meet again.
Some things
Seem meant to be,
If not a dance then a
Toe-tap to the music of time.
