Emerald isles covered in roses:
I remember
the first time I saw the world evolve
within the depth of you green eyes.
Caught up like a wayward traveler,
… among the ghosts & fears,
the castles and jagged cliffs of long ago;
swept by raging torrents
over waterfalls through jungles;…
needing directions, I asked your name.
Rosemarie stole my taxi and drove away.
Belfast: A year and a day later
I bought you a drink and spent the night
traveling.
We saw the world together – You and I.
But yours was a painful paradise
and one rainy night, as I was exploring forever,
you lost your way.

This is such an intriguing poem; it makes me want to know more about these people and the relationship.
Good format and language; just the right mix of imagery and simplicity. You know when to pile it on and when to stop.
I'm glad I can include this in the book. Thanks!
