How many years since I’ve fallen in love…— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
our eyes meet and the moment’s electricity
turns to smiles… smiles we both bear
amid the echo we both see
It seems dangerous to be so happy for free
her company pleases me, regardless of our conversation
looking at her is pleasure
touching her is
and thinking of her is
Strong and driven
she’s flying from her past like I.
I look at her and see someone to match me

Wednesday, March 22nd, 1978What will these days bring— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
on the edge of my life?
Will I ever find myself
so deeply in another again?
I press away, for these days,
running down my life like some rat
trying to ferret out my happiness
and the secrets of my purpose
Today I’m going to look deep inside
and fly into my secret rooms.

Sudden end of love
she found us mingled in the aftermath of passion
and it nearly killed us all
broken glass, broken bed, broken heart
when they left
and left me to clean up
The moment’s past and I could feel a node
had gone down
history resettled, fortunes changed
and all of who I was altered
tomorrow’s an unknown again
Rose likely will not speak to me again
Kathy left our initial encounter amid flying glass
and Kim called and departed, unfulfilled
and, for me, tomorrow waits
to see what they’ll all make of this
No help in the morning, my loans are called in
and some months will be needed to heal us all
if anything can.
