Poetry of Robert E. Kogan — Poems of Life, Love & Social Commentary

Farewell

Where is the light to help show me the way

As I walk alone without you today –

Walk in the night and think back on the day

When we promised our love would not go away.

 

Your light and your love has now turned to dark.

A cold wind whispers to me your remark:

“We’ll no longer share the same, safe ark.

Your distrust extinguished all of my spark.”

 

I must now walk in the dark of this long night

Wondering what I said that was not right.

Wondering why deep inside me I fight

Wanting to call you, or at least to write.

 

So I walk the night, and I reminisce,

Thinking of all the things I shall miss –

Your laughter – spirit – and

much more than this –

The warmth and love that we sealed with a kiss.
