John Arribas Poet Rhyme

Interlude

INTERLUDE
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


When an event confines you to a quiet, lonely solitude
You are sentenced to an unending feelings of lassitude 
The ongoing nothingless wallowed me in endless jejune     
And slowly eroded the passions and joy that I once knew

I have resolved my future just to play out the game
To relive moments of joys, over n over, is not the same
Unconsciously, I began to recede from joyful activity
Hiding my loneliness, hoping time would set me free

Every tomorrow, like yesterday, a fruitless trial
I needed something, someone to cause me to smile 
Suddenly realizing there must be others like me
Victims of losses, surviving, clinging to memories

I began searching, hoping to find a similar soul
Keep me from plunging down this debilitating hole
I found someone that has unyielding ties to yore
And wants to recapture feelings  known before

Alas, never the same, too many emotions strained
Difficult to replace reveries so painfully gained
I won’t replace her loss, nor will she replace mine
We’ll comfort each other in what’s left of our time
