THE FINAL VERSE

Recently,
I have thought
and written
so much about you
that my mind 
and my shelf
are full 
with finished and unfinished
...notes and poems.

Every now and then,
I have wished 
to post them.

But my years
have taken me
so far away
that no mail
can ever reach you.

And should it reach
it would mean
no more than 
a romantic betrayal
...to her
and to you...

So,
with the remaining ink
in my fountain pen,
I write
this final verse 
on you...
for you...

Sometime later
I would quietly enter
these 'unsent' words
in my note book
and
you would have become
a neat and clean
...beautiful leaf
in my hardbound
book of poems.
