okay, I'll admit it
sometimes you interrupt my dreams
                    last time you tiptoed across them
          I was wide awake
and deep into Jethro Tull's
aqua lung
                    had my earphones on and was jammin'
          thinking of flower children
free love and sittin' by the dock of that bay
don't'ja know
                    and there you were
          shatterin' my grove
I know, I know, I'm too old
to be groovin'
                    after the shock of your appearance
          it's good to see you
though I'd rather had some hotmail
to read and swelter through
                    ah, I know, I know
          those days are over
still, it's good that you are here
you remain important to me
                    but you know that
          I am quite over
my ridiculous and uncontainable need
for reaching out to you
                    and you with your just as insatiable want
          for things he could not
or would not give you
you reached out to others
                    to complete your whole
          to satisfy that
which had so long been neglected
eh, we had our run
                    now it's over and done
          why then
do you continuously come to me
to again start my heart to rushing
                    oh, I see, I understand
          you don't come to me
no, I reach out
and pull you into my world
                    in a supply and demand
          sort of way

Thank you, Victoria, it seems I have company on these lonesome vignettes. Company is good.

oh wow, I too lived 'that life' and I could almost say I was with you til the end, but I have to be honest, I stopped reaching, stopped supplying demands...sigh...seems I stopped a lot of things......anyway let me stop rambling and compliment you on this, it is powerful to say the least...

Hi, luminosity, and thanks big time for your wonderful comments, although I am sorry that you can relate so closely with it. Thanks again . . .

I have often wondered as I think of people if perhaps they might be thinking of me too.
It may not be but I like to think it is true.

Oh, I think in certain cases they are thinking of you, Lori, as you them. It is just according to how strong the bond is that builds those thoughts. Thank you for reading and commenting on this poem.
