I Am Your Destiny

The day will come, my dear… When you will finally realize There will be no further denying me No escaping from what destiny Has planned for thee I have tolerated your indifference for Far too long Remained in the shadow of your life While you gallivanted here and there And everywhere with nary a thought of me Well… My dear I have waited through the years Through all your laughter And… Through your tears… And.. That time... When life had let you down That autumn when you laid yourself upon the ground So close to me And for a moment I thought that you were mine But… Again… You turned away from me Your mind and soul on fire Captured, enraptured By the beauty of That last leaf Of autumn Falling from the tree A crimson flame That threw itself upon the wind To fly away…free at last Then... I watched you rise And walk away Lost to that Moment in time That moment… That quickly erased the thought of me From your mind But Alas, my dear I have all the time in the world So… I wait for you Knowing one day You will come to me For I am your destiny And… D E A T H ….

Thank you John. I love to write! I actually got in a lot of trouble in the early years in school for drifting off in class in what the teachers referred to as...FLIGHTS OF FANCY. lol. Elaine

Love this "on borrowed time" piece. This is the kind of stuff I also like to write, so an extra way to go, dear Lainie

Thank you Richard, P.S to an earlier reply with reference to searching for my best poems in the search engine. It is not the poetry soup search engine, but the internet search engine. I am going to read your poems now. Elaine
