It seems so much clearer now— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
now that I’ve seen her eyes…like mine
chasing the unobtainable lover’s dream
just as I’m chasing mine.
Its ironic how we each love someone else
who loves us less in turn
but yearns for the lover of another yet
who loves them also less in turn.
Jim would possess Kathy
and she would have me
And I would have Kathleen
and she, I’ve seen, longs for Ted.
These lover’s conjunctions – always and ever mismatched
we seek the things we can never have
from other who do the same
in an endless lover’s chain.

I can’t believe them all
each one some incredible wonder, joy.
I feel like Siddartha wandering among life’s lures
eagerly passing thru … touching each thing openly
no hurry … just learn and see
whose love, whose real … what I feel.

Sunday, September 3rd, 1978 The tides in my life are rolling
these days begin to focus their force on me
rebirth again...just as I've called for it...again and again.
The easy paths always divide
and I'm forced to choose, forced to focus, forced to endure
where two weeks ago I had it all
today, I'm looking at chaos and confusion.
Rose wants me to come back
Helen's in a mental hospital
and the other three are stepping away for another look.
I want to hold on the to clarity of my gut visions
but they're so easily lost
personalities, priority conflicts, needs, finite energy
I'm small against my history, today.
I know I'm going to take a ride
through my doubts and fears to some other side.
If you would, love me, life.
help me through to the other side...intact
with all my love and my freedom...and all my dreams.
