LATE NIGHT

Late Night

Late night sleep

walk night talk

memories of

yesterday

and you

in my yesterday

just perhaps

a memory that wasn't

like an allegory or a

fable or

a composite

of a matrix of love

that has kept

me

searching

running down

blind alleys

unending

blinded by flashes

of memories

of things

that never happened

and waking

before the sun

that hurts my eyes

like thoughts of you

hurts my heart

with mind-numbed

by seeing your face

 in the night of

my late night

sleep walk

Vernon Duane Pilcher You write beautifully and need to do more. thanks for sharing your thoughts. Helen and Duane

Ray Nielson Hellen, I write a lot, I have published a small chapbook, I have written about my three trips to Vietnam and I this year am going to complete my military history for my Kids, grandkids and beyond. I maintain four pages here on Facebook, My Poetry is a page named "WhiteFeather Poet", I have a mystical page named "In the silence" a Political page " The Old Guard" and I like to write with a somewhat dry sense of humor so I have been told by too many people so it was necessary to adopt a page titled simply "Uncle Ray" I have come a long way from the shy kid you went to school with . but My life has been great, sometimes exciting, sometimes boring but very rewarding
I also have a project to finish concerning the History of Nielsons Inc and a book that I have been intending to get back to that about 2/3s done and has been hanging around for 10 years. I have two Grandsons age 6 nd 3 that can distract me in a heart beat I hope all is well with you all. I would love to hear more about you and your family. I remember your brother and my Father thought the world of your father. Where did all the time go?
