Re-posted because I stupidly deleted it in error!
I dream of you
But somehow
Your face
Is in shadow,
Always.
So long ago
We parted,
Sadly,
Regretfully,
You for duty,
I for sorrow.
Oh, I remember your ways,
Your dazzling smile,
your eyes like deep, dark waters.
But not the whole
Face.
And your collections,
How could I
Forget them?
Moulding fruit and veg
Retained for microscopic
Inspection.
Fly larvae, ditto.
But I forget your
Face.
Until I see that smile,
Dazzling,
In my dear son's
Face.

Your Face
Sometimes, at nightI dream of you
But somehow
Your face
Is in shadow,
Always.
So long ago
We parted,
Sadly,
Regretfully,
You for duty,
I for sorrow.
Oh, I remember your ways,
Your dazzling smile,
your eyes like deep, dark waters.
But not the whole
Face.
And your collections,
How could I
Forget them?
Moulding fruit and veg
Retained for microscopic
Inspection.
Fly larvae, ditto.
But I forget your
Face.
Until I see that smile,
Dazzling,
In my dear son's
Face.
