Mayday Mayday

I feel like a hostage on the centreline of my life held captive on my own island surrounded by shifting emotions strangers come and lovers go is there a difference how would I know love breezes in too close for comfort mayday…mayday Flashes of love frozen on the stop signs of my life turn here turn there go faster…slow down the sound of a lover’s siren can you hear it coming this way is it the truth or perhaps a lie a choice to make mayday…mayday Raindrops fall down like cornflakes from the sky feeding first a deep hunger delicious to the touch suddenly ice cold feeling frozen to the bone no reason no rhyme emotions betraying emotions are all promises made to simply cast away to go or to stay mayday…mayday IRISH

I understand the message of your poem Michael. I have wondered at the point to my life, and did as I pleased for a number of years, now that I am older another girts me, and I understand why, and what I must now do for humanity's sake. The Love of God is the answer to all your questions in one way or another. Sincerely, Moses
