Goodbye

(NOTHING MORE TO SAY)

I've seen the way you look at me
I've seen the way you look at them
Without wanting to admit, you hate everything I stand for
Lying to yourself, you are sweet, caring and better
Still, you look at me and hate everything I stand for
You are a cheat - A liar - A toilet flushing down rain

You seek and want my attention, yet you have no domain
Your THANK YOU's are cheaper than a grin on a Walmart bag
The light - The light - That shines upon your expression
Nothing more than.....
Sour grapes traveling towards the darkest region of the sun
Yes, simple prunes basking all the time!!!!!
Shaking powdered grapes from lobe to lobe
Watching humping wild hogs who can't eat cake
---Desperately you mock yourself---

Before you draw a blank, let me remind you
You look at me and hate everything I stand for
The way I smile, carry myself every day
I never claim to be perfect, but better with no anvil
You can't bear the way I stand in front of the soap display
I embrace with all my spirit, at the end of every day
I'm so glad I am nothing like you or them
In reality, I judged you the moment you walked in

Before the year ends, I will end my affair right here
I have nothing more to say
I hope you all have a great new year.

TaTa SKAT in the Hat

Ten years later in the hat~~ Kittens have grown into a cat~~ Mice have grown into a rat~~ Skinny ones became fat~~ Fat ones became brat~~ The soup is turning flat~~ No thanks to a flying bat~~ There's more gossip and chat~~ There's still a welcome mat~~ But whats up with that~~ When theres no Skat~~

Dear Skat A: I remember your farewell poem in 2015. I remember you olde friend. So, here’s to you wherever you are, and blessings to you on your journeys elsewhere. I took a break from PoetrySoup last year as I reached my 10,000 poem target which was very hard. Now I am back in 2023 with 2 poems posted. If you pass by, stop for a visit and share your kind wit. All the best, Leon.

"Sour grapes traveling towards the darkest region of the sun" - Though it's truth or not. The truth is beautiful feelings of anger and annoyance and many other such negative feelings against a person is beautifully brought out. Great work. Congratulations!

I don't know if you remember me but you commented on the poems I wrote a long time ago. You inspired me and I wrote a good 37+ poems since then. This reminds me of the poem I just wrote yesterday called heart of Stone. Wow this gets right to the point. I love it and you feel the pain stabbing you right in the heart.
