May 2, 1978 ?:?? p.m . poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


"Three Stanzas"  Cathy poem

Last time was as real as the times before
Over and over and over and over
Very soon it will all end, it has to
Even though this time I proclaim that it's different

          Life has taught me little
          Once I thought I knew it all
          Visions of ecstasy are only that
          Every night I think of you again

Lost those other girls a long time ago
Otherwise these poems wouldn't mean a thing
Vaulting to your heart with sincerity
Either its time to feel happy or sad
   1978
