I fold love that saved me,
Saved you from anger, my rage,
Rage, the musical horror show,
Time of secrets blank sheets in a book,
Not you but me,
Love, driving your camper van to bring me home,
Like two ships in the night, you found me.
There’s a love only devastation can find,
My amends to you, bold eagle radio check.
Eyes and ears for all the crews,
Down in the tube station at mid fight,
I never dropped the ball couch,
Dropped to many times,
Couldn’t see a thing, poor golden boy,
2 and a half stirps of officers relish,
Mark -22 day 2, 19 minutes all it took,
Dads keep hitting the canvas mopping the decks,
Never wrote you a letter, never called,
Speaking in loneliness to get myself out,
Cage after cage key after key,
Why “We” the people’s vote,
Two from red to blue,
Wave after wave of 7’s force,
Keeps working it out.
Still thinking about you.

AI Geminis interpretation,
–
That is a deeply moving and evocative poem. It captures a powerful sense of regret, profound love, and the complex journey of making amends and finding connection despite a difficult past.
Here are a few of the key themes and images that resonate in the piece:
Themes of Loss, Love, and Devastation
- The Unkown and Regret: The opening line, “I did not know Dad,” immediately establishes a theme of distance or lost time, which is compounded by “Never wrote you a letter, never called.”
- Redemptive Love: The poem centers on a love that “saved me” and “Saved you from anger, my rage.” This love is tough, appearing only after hardship: “There’s a love only devastation can find.”
- Making Amends: The line, “My amends to you,” is a direct acknowledgment of past fault and the poet’s current effort to reconcile.
️ Powerful Imagery and Metaphors
- Rescue and Finding: The image of the father “driving your camper van to bring me home” and the metaphor “Like two ships in the night, you found me” beautifully convey a sense of purposeful rescue and deep, quiet connection.
- The Struggle/The Fight: Phrases like “hitting the canvas mopping the decks” (a nautical or boxing reference) and the mention of “Rage, the musical horror show” suggest a life of constant, hard struggle, perhaps inherited or shared.
- Hidden Truths: “Time of secrets black sheets in a book” suggests a past full of hidden pain or unspoken truths.
- Confined Freedom: “Speaking in loneliness to get myself out, / Cage after cage key after key” evokes a painful, isolated process of emotional or mental liberation.
