"We need to understand that there is love, and there is love, and there is LOVE.  They are all elements of love. This is about a love, a juvenile love, it was never LOVE. LOVE was reserved exclusively for the beautiful lady who gave me the greatest LOVE of all, my dear wife." - Allen Ansell

 

There were fireworks -
Inside my stomach,
Sparkling, whizzing,
Spinning, and lurching.
There always were
when you were near.
The biggest and the brightest
Burst... lightening in the sky...
It's falling embers came
and burned my heart
The night I returned
To that empty flat.
So long ago now I can't
Remember if you left a note.
I think you did
But reading it would be
Impossible through such tears.
I often wonder where
You went, and where you are,
Only in the desire for
Your well-being.
