Hiding From Me

Hiding from me ??? When I see a smile come to your beautiful lips, I wonder why ? For whatever has brought it to life, will surly, in the end, make you cry. As the painful blues turn to heartache gray, fill the skies, I feel your pain, yet never touch the rain falling from your eyes, and onto the edges of my heart, causing it to fall apart, to brake as you hide from me, try to deal with the pain, try to make it through another day, another day to exist for life’s sake even though it will be at the expense of me ! I know it is fake, yet, being in the know, I still feel and have to take it all to heart, experience it all, personally, for that is me, and I cannot help, but feel, you are closing the door, closing it on me, in your inimitable way. And so, in the deepest darkness, I pray that we – you and me - can see the light, stay away from, and never have to fight that battle of, you keeping me from your sight while I try to find, and do what is right. Your happiness, my Dear Daughter, is my life ! Never is it my intention to cause you such strife. Love, your sad, bad, dad. B. J. “A” 2 June 29th 2002

Good morning Verlena S. Walker : How sweet of you to take the time to visit ! Glad you “ Enjoyed my visit... ” and thank you for your comment. After reading a few of your poems, I wonder why ?, do I bother. It is obvious that you are a very talented, educated and knowledgeable young woman, the essence of the poems I did read is of deep interest to me ( the spiritual, the historical, the universes influence etc., etc. ) B.
