day 2

what is love if not grief persevering 

what is noun if not noun continuous verb.

then answer qn in the poem 

what is fun if not jokes continuing 

what is fun if not 

what is a good ending if not bittersweet 

what is death if not life reflecting 

what is the end if not beginnings approaching 

what islove if not 

joylove
death 
pain 
endings
romance 

what is rain but a blessing 

what is friendship but 

us forgiving each other 
for our idiocy, 
for the rage, 
the words spoken out of turn

us waiting for the other 
hours on end if need be
for there must be a good reason

us wiping the other's tears 
after each heartbreak 
pouring scorn on the  useless mate
who could not see your worth 

us whispering to each other 
in the school hall
and chatting as we jog 
around the track at the start of hockey practice 

picking up from a conversation 
just like yesterday 
even if sometimes months have rolled by 

us holding fast to one another 
even if now 
oceans swell between us 

you marking my essays 
for me 
the eve before I get married
