it could have been substantial those lost decades something you could write about voiceless the women tarts spicy and damaged you used each other numerously Desperado what makes you breakable does your history bewilder the wild child preferring to leave them all at dawn whispering why you've heard tell to know Eve is to know all why did you run from the descendants of Eve wild child with your speeding life fleeting youth you were a premature old one a bitter knowingness coldly blond ghostly pale face you brought with you dark clouds ripped savagely by lightning of another's darkness a questioning stalemate you had to flee shut the hell up – just shut up huh don't go there . . . don't go back there sure, no harm meant just trying to shape your disorder you burnt with anger at life chewing it up and spitting it out so callously and now you are here will I see you at the last have you a neck by which to throttle you have you a heart damn you eternally have you a soul I am about to take a new lover she can give me what you cannot death is ne'er a lover oh, yes she is[/i] ©June 26, 2013 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper write sideways. ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (09-10-2013 08:12 AM).] |

Desparado, why don't you let somebody love you?.... as Linda Rhonstat used to sing. Isn't it about time for another one of your love poems Jerry? Those are my favorites. Good morning my friend. Lori  |

Lori, just reminiscing. I couldn't be more in love if I tried. The one I'm in love with loves me in return. So, in answer to your comment I DO let someone love me. ~*~ If they give you lined paper write sideways. ~*~ |

"You were a premature old one... a bitter knowingness" Certainly can relate to that, as with much of this. Not sure if death can or will grant us that elusive peace so sought after, but I certainly do not fear it as most mortals. Wait on it patiently, yeah, it's more like that. Michael |

Thanks, Michael, I thank you for your kind and inspiring words. That part about waiting on it struck home, of course. ~*~ If they give you lined paper write sideways. ~*~ |
