Antidotal AlchemyYou pervade my uninoculated heart like a strong flu virus strain. First the chills and then fever sweats, challenge any movement on my part. If you glance in my direction, I toddle wobble light-headed and have to brace myself against a wall to keep from losing all balance. My head throbs when you speak but my throat is razor raw and I manage a nod as if about to lose consciousness. I have no natural immunity and you know it. I Do Not Miss You With My HeartI do not miss you with my heart. The pale passion has died before. It knows how love can fall apart. There was a bonding from the start; yet as breaking waves disturb the shore, I do not miss you in my heart. The wind dabbles our love’s art Like dust motes across the floor. It knows how love can fall apart. Your lips, once sweet, are now so tart There is no need for any more. I do not miss you with my heart. And now passion’s just a broken part, More like something to ignore. It knows how love can fall apart. The music’s over; there is no chart; No notations to fill the score. I do not miss you with my heart; It knows how love can fall apart. When Twilight Finds You By The SeaWhen twilight finds you by the sea and memory tears collect renounce the tide that’s taken me. Several weeks pass awkwardly but never in neglect when twilight finds you by the sea. Tread on the sand so gently and if I may inject - renounce the tide that’s taken me. Explore emotions carefully. Keep those that protect When twilight finds you by the sea. Should hope erode slowly ‘til doubt invites neglect renounce the tide that’s taken me. Await the dawn patiently and warm gleams recollect. When twilight finds you by the sea renounce the tide that’s taken me. R. Gerry Fabian is a published poet and novelist.
