      It seems forever since I placed a bet
      Nine months two weeks four days
      And yet
      In some ways , it feels like yesterday.
      The “Love” I lived for is not dead
      Just sleeping.
      Reclining , in a deep slumber
      With one eye open
      Watching
      Always listening
      Perhaps, even longing for my call.
      Dare I ask if you hear the echo of my voice
      Or meet me in the dreams I dream of you
      Romanticized delusions , seeping through my nightmares
      Like crisp Autumn leaves that fall in sodden puddles
      Crisp euro notes that wilt in slot machines
      Lying in wait for the “fatcat” to collect
      Along with all my dreams and fantasies
      All lost
      When I succumb to the “Love” that leaves me
      Forever powerless?
