Untie this knot will you
and let me be?

Just let me drift…

Out into
that gorgeous
blue sea.

Your waves are hi
and my swell is low.

And there’s no more further
down,
for me to go.

I was hoping you
would hold my hand
so that when we tripped
through life
we wouldn’t fall
into the
sand.

But worry not
about my frown
my face is used
to kissing
ground.

In fact the dirt
is the only one
who hasn’t left
and said, I’m done.

Well,
at least not yet.

But then, my heart you see
still owes
this debt.

And still the day
is really new,
although my tax on life,
is overdue.

Maybe this
is the first day,
of the end of my
life?

I just found my soul
swimming
right through a
knife.

I mean we just really
never know?

But then what would even,
really show?

So don’t worry dear,
my thoughts
they are fairly clear.

As clear as mud
that clouds my eyes.

It’s sad when you can’t see,
goodbye.

So don’t worry dear,
my thoughts
they are fairly clear.

There comes a time
when even
rhyme
slowly starts,

to disappear...

It’s not like
the world
would even notice
anyway.

It’s not like the leaves
on the trees
would fly
at half branch?

I think it would be more like
a 21 shun salute.

Miss World,
you’ve got it tough enough
right now anyway don’t you?

Just think,
all your anklets of asparagus
and necklaces of nectarines
wouldn’t have to feed me
anymore.

And your animals wouldn’t
have to come out of their
skin
just to clothe me
again.

And your sister sun
would have one less body
to bronze
with her slippery hot paintbrush
for a tongue.

And your mother in law
moon
would have one less
set of eyes to gaze at her
and swoon
and howl
into the night
of doom.

And the worms,
the worms,
oh my god,
would finally have
something fun
and spicy
to eat.

Or so I’ve been
told.

I wanted, you
to grow old with me.

To get sick of my
ugly ass face
and my tired butt
jokes.

Even though
my smile still makes yours
weep
when they press
together,
dried and
trembling.

And my goofiness
still makes you laugh
so hard
deep inside
when you draw
the drapes of your
eyes
and look back
and try to,
remember.

Cut the chord
dear lord
and hear my plea.

My life for my sins,
just set me free.

Yes, good writing as usual, Richy, but rather sad.
