Unscathed

Jerry Reynolds

 

Logic would say, given my age,
Most of loves past, tragic or blissful,
Have crossed Acheron
Aboard the Punt Fierce Brightness
Still, they survive, unscathed,
On that red dirt road in my heart,
Singing their siren songs.

    Yes even crossing that river of woe former loves however old survive in our heart - - what a wonderful thought Jerry and how very true.

      Red. A dirt road? Red is the vivid colour of passion still in your heart it seems.

      • Jerry Reynolds

        Thanks, Dusk.
        It's a useful metaphor, also the color of the soil where I grew up, rich in nutrients but enough clay to pack tight into a road.
