Heart Break

A fine morning to watch the birds By the ocean side. My dog by my side. Deep cool breeze Setting ablaze my ribs My jacket and the dog’s fur All I needed and asked for Perfect company and comfort …a lonely life. My surrounding, Oblivion of me And me too, void of all Very deep in thought Knowing not when, I sipped from the coffee cup Wincing in disagreement, I jolted back to memory By its bitter taste. Hahahahahaha What a way to discover. But discovered I have. A great deal of life is false and bitter It’s bitter when you love Yet, you be not loved It’s false, thinking you are loved But all the while, mugged Why do you tell me All is fair in love and war? When I know what I saw? The weak is the stepping stone For the wicked The honest a tool In the hands of the fraud But… Woe to them who made you bear grudge And… Woe to you who got soiled in vengeance. Nature is smart…so smart with it For the sun must rise again And time must heal your pain Like the Americans will say Every dog has its day Dust up and take a walk For your new lover Might be waiting by the side walk
