Poems from esther.luttrell.7
After years of writing commercials and educational films, I ended up at CBS and then MGM. Sold screenplays and was story consultant for producers and studios. Now I write mysteries, but it's the little book of poems, Alone is Such a Long, Long Time, I'm most pleased with. It's really just for me, but I'm sharing it with anyone else who has ever lost a loved one ... maybe they died, maybe only their affection died, it in the end, it's all the same.
Today is...
the long slow ache
of missing someone you love
and knowing
there is no way
to retrace your steps...
of...
How many times have I
forgotten you today...
Five? Six? A dozen times perhaps....
once when I saw a shadow
and realized it was mine...
I hide inside myself
in some secret waiting place
far away,
close beside,
listening to songs
I remember
of you.
No one goes
or knows
or...
