Secret Places
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 maybe even cares,
and the brook of my yesterday
is a quiet spot
humming reflections
of soft cheeks
and soft lips
and gentle bruises
and I leave,
walking lightly,
when the hurting
hurts too much.

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.
