Introspective Sea Change

Same within.Introspection of Sea Change 08/06/2016 Lemuel Griffiths aka Lem Gunn Fiercest of battles above my head, Same within. Blue battling the grey, 'Never ending turmoil throughout time. ''I coulda' saved her, Kept her sane., Love is strange'' .., I told him.., concluded, The promenade train tooted, I repeated.., His face didn't change. I looked down and spoke again., ''Okay, so the car died and the job went too, but the love was still there.., Forever!'' ..Resisting the 'half-horizon' stare. I noted that the various chewing gum, well, wasn't, as a gull cried in a passing swoop. ''Going off with my neighbour, of all things.'' -half gritted teeth. He'd finished his roll up and cast it underfoot..., Saw, at last, my grief. ''Listen kid.., the world will go on., within you ., without ya', ya feel me?''. There was a sudden gust .., I think he mumbled, 'dumbass'. ''You won't be the first, nor the last, old son, There'll be plenty more forlorn sat there, We still got 50 billion years 'fore the sun flickers out, So where's tomorrow's cares?'' Well, that tickled me as he said take care, And how he had to be getting himself on.., And how the weather's all upside down this time of year, And how deckchairs don't walk them-selves off the Prom. The age of the mobile interruptions.., Why'd's the planet need to spin so fast, I ignore the text that she's moving, And how she thanks me for the past, mispelt blast. Then her Mother, two Brothers, three Sisters, Invite me to a 'barbi', should the weather hold out, But the job interview is what threw me., Life is fickle, Of that, There's no doubt.

Lemuel,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
