Marc O'Brien Poet Rhyme

From The Workshop Collection-Good Knight Jen

I almost cry when  

Entering the mourning den  

You Jen  

My dear departing childhood friend  

Would send  

Romantic sensations  

Make my pumping special heart racing  

Before facing  

Reality at large  

Sailing along, working the pensionary barge  

Sweating in the hot sun  

Until the laboring is done  

We meet for fun  

Then 

Jen  

Acting like, Barbie and Ken  

Fences never needed to be mend  

Due to our royal trust  

Shiny strong, never a rust  

That could go bust  

Promises our blood made  

Prologue to the evil’s invade 

Pretending to trade  

Suddenly someone screamed, ‘raid’ 

While we picked up our grades  

Dear Lord, we prayed  

What did both of us know  

During a time of maturing and grow  

Until it was time to go  

Investing in the University system  

And their four-year mission  

Studying where our skills are  

Passing the academic bar  

Checking the midnight diner plates  

Life was challenging and great  

But I failed to defend  

Jen 

My lifelong friend   

Now  

You are dolled up, for the eternal bow  

Everyone grumbles and growls  

Saying goodbye  

As you lie  

In the den  

When  

We were truly Barbie and Ken  

Wearing innocent clothes  

Not having any foes  

Until today  

Our enemies will pay  

For what they did  

Sending you to an early crypt  

Next time different things will be  

If warned, ‘coming land or sea’ 

We will believe  

Freedom will ring  

Allowing everyone to sing  

Show God our relationship bling  

And the commitment ring   

Reminding the judge, we will always be Queen and King  

Of the Monarch, I rule  

Despite uncontrollable events that are ever so cruel
