Our Poems

By Ruth Y. Nott

Copyright 1973

I read our poems again today, the lines we lived together.

I read of love and sadness, of joy and many tears.

I tried so hard to lose myself among  the well-worn pages,

to return into our past, go back across the years...

To find again contentment in resting by your side,

and feel again the tenderness you showed in every kiss.

But all too soon I realized, the past is still the past

and all our poems but memories of times I'll always miss.
