Filling the Vacuum

With tears on her face she came to me
being a gentle man I am
I gave her my shoulder and she felt relieved
She cried not because she was bereaved
But emptiness caused by the abandonment

Her husband a rich man he is
But his riches caused more pain than joy
For such a beautiful daughter of the land
I gave her everything from time to love
And she reciprocated it big time

Should I feel guilty or joy
Guilty because she someone’s
Or joyful because she is no longer sad and I am happy too
I am just feeling the vacuum created 
And you know what they say it must be filled.

At Crossroads

Love
To rejoice or be remorseful
rejoice because I love her
or sad that she will abandon
the latter devastates me
Not that she doesn’t love just because I am poor.


Should I worry about tomorrow?
or just enjoy the moment we have
conscious of uncertainties 
I am a troubled person 

my instincts tell me you're the one
my body agrees with it too
But somehow the spirits
are uneasy and that robs my sleep

I count my self  unfortunately lucky 
to have such beauty by my side
to love and to cherish the good moments
however short it may be
forever and ever my love you will be.
