She set love alight in my heart
When I was an idealistic sixteen.
We fell in love almost instantly;
It lasted about a year, and she left me.
A typical long distance romance
That didn’t work, me in MA her in NJ.
But I was too young to know the math
And calculate the near impossible odds,
Never dreamed she’d stop loving me.
With decades experience, age and wisdom
Now I know she was never right for me.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
