I turn and walk now I am not here Time to disappear Don't try to stop me I have seen too much The world is a strange place Kiss me and miss me But please dear Don't wait The road is dusty obscure The distant sun shimmers vague contours of faeries Kiss me and miss me But please dear Don't wait Don't try to stop me I have seen too much It's time to face The truth Smile for me dear Frame our picture somewhere On a door, it will fit there One day I'll come back here Don't try to stop me I have seen too much I'm so out of place Don't try to stop me I have seen too much I step out this strange race *** June 22, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

life is race and affection is so deep than what a soul can treat for granted. Nice

Sending you a mountain up high. For you to sit there and contemplate on feelings passing by. Maybe some quiet is all you need to gather strenght.

Life does seem like a race at times, me, I'd prefer to just stand on the sidelines watching it go past. Happy though to also sit back and watch you write my friend, this one feels desperate but it such a creative fashion.

Sidelines sometimes seem the exact right spot to be. The world goes far too fast and is too noisy. Thanks my friend.

This is a truly emotional piece Darren, hopefully as Lisa says that this is only talent and expression here? Dont you dare go, I'll leave then too...or I'll stay and write some really emotional poetry on Darren leaving. Lol..Maria

Pfft you two ;) It's just a poem, inspired by music I was listening to. I'm not going anywhere. Hah :)

Morning Darren. Hi. I hope this is your talent and expression talking and that all is fine and well. This is expressive and I enjoyed the repetition. Well done throughout. Have a wonderful afternoon.
