Leave You My Tears But I'Ll Need Them Back By Next Week

Leave you my tears? I didn't. I took down the 'For Sale' sign. Threw in the white flag. Embalmed it like a stiff in a fridge. Sealed it with a musical lick. Packaged it with airplane black box tape. I hid it it’s sitting with Hoffa. Finished, over, took its last bow, curtains closed. I wrapped it in wire barbed! This heart of mine.

wow, wrapped it in barbed wire too. This is GREAT hyperbole, my friend. I do believe it is the only one on your current page of poetry that i had not yet seen. All the others of yours I plan to visit later are on your first page (maybe it is called page two I guess). I will be very sure I have seen all your poems on your current page. Pretty sure right now that I have! Well, unlock your heart!! You deserve nothing but joy.

Oh Jan. I have been so lonely this morning. Glad you dropped by. I am working on a poem about Tim, Cas, Jan (also known as you) and Me (also known as Maurice).
