I SIT A WHILE

I SIT A WHILE

I sit awhile in this great outdoors

Breathing in the air

So clear

So clean

So fresh

I think of you whilst sitting here

Wondering how you are

It is great to be in the great outdoors

A time to relax

A time to calm down

To unwind

And let it all go

A time to reflect of the wonders

And miracles

That happens in our lives

Especially at this present moment in time

And be forever eternally grateful

For all the good

The kindness

And

Friendships bring

To each and everyone

Blissful to be out in the great outdoors

I WONT ABIDE

I WONT ABIDE

These feelings inside

They’ve torn me apart

Right to this heart

I was there by your side

A constant companion

A lover

A friend

To the bitter end

You were so wrapped up inside

With all that you denied

You rebuffed

You said you had had enough

You spurned

You turned

Said that I repulsed!

The anger

So you persist in being wrapped

Warped in your mind

Your mind full of games

Where you believe you gain

 You’re blinded, blinkered

With your own tortuous

Repugnant

Stagnant

Virtuousness

Righteousness

Yet you remain blameless

Shameless

Of the pitfalls

That befalls

Others in your realm

Over and over again

Where you believe

This is your gain!

Psychologically

And oh so methodically

But I left your side

And here the new story begins

I JUST DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN

I JUST DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN

My thoughts are jumbled, mumbled

I thought I had it all!

The happiness, ridden of all sadness

But then and now

My life is still full of sadness

I miss the tenderest of touches

I miss the softest of embraces

I miss the silly banter

I miss the candor

But do I?

Miss your candor

Your sincerity went blowing in the wind

Along with your openness

An openness to hold hands

An openness so that our lips met

Right there out in the open

Two lovers, two friends

Where there was no pretense

Now that the seasons have changed

The façade and charades are over

You made me believe

And then you go and leave

But one thing remains

I still love you!

And nothing remains the same

Except for this hollowness

And here I sit wondering if you know

How it really, really feels to be left alone

How it really, really feels to feel this cold

How it really, really feels to be not held

Time is my enemy

Time is eternal

Time is not here!

Time keeps running away from me

My thoughts and feelings scattered

Scattered like the autumns leaves

Floating into the endless ether

It’s like you live in a world where you never listen!

A world full of your own glisten

Glitz and glamour

Minus the honesty, integrity and veracity

Time and seasons change

And I hope that you will too

For the next lady in your life

Not giving her any trouble and strife
