Is the Grass Greener
By Richard Maxfield
1-11-1999

Is the grass greener, on the other side
Is it so deep, your soul can hide
Is life so grand, without me
Only time will tell, wait and see
Are you happy, with no responsibilities
just you to think of, never worry about me
what of our children, they miss you so
are they on your mind, no place far enough to go
when you wake, alone in your bed
is there something, you could have said
was there something, you could have done
besides think of your self, the only one
time is the only thing, you cant take back
is true love in your life, now what you lack
What of our plans, all of our dreams
Gone like the dew, so it seams
now the fantasy, is worn and gone
how does it feel, to have lost your home
I loved you more, than anyone could
Giving my all, as I should
I did all, a human could do
its rather ironic, I’m sad for you
Is the grass greener, on the other side
Is it so deep, your soul can hide

Heartfelt sadness... Hope all is well with you.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

Oh yes dear and thanks for the hope. There was a poem i read titled I Gave my all that reminded me of this old poem and thought I would post it.
Love and light.

It seems a two fold tale enclosed,
-yet these stories should unfold-
as that of a love bound by two
shared on screens of silence and blue.

With romance and poems he made her swoon.
Her eyes followed blue to fetch his love,
his every line would send her reeling
when they noticed, it's love their feeling.

Communications, their handicap.
She needed answers only he could give
instead he turning a deaf ear,
offering no accountability for lack therof.

"Talk, to me", her one request.
His love not strong enough she guessed.
His love for her died within these pages,
she read his words in rhymes of blue.

He seeks ways to control his love
without saying a single word.
She asked more than he could give,
please talk to me, her plea.

Telephone unrung and all words void of write
time to move on dispelling his lies,
embedded within lines of his sweet rhymes,
now, keepsakes for read in distant times.

Richard, it is never greener, is it? Wonderfully well writen and soooo true. 'Oh what fools we mortals be when first we practice to decieve'. This is really an excellant piece from you, honestly written and so heartfelt.
Take care
