Some People Get Close and Thats Good Enough
"SOME PEOPLE GET CLOSE AND THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH"
what's love going to be in
the year 802701?
will it exist
or
will hatred be love and
someone's admiration
murder?
another love is gone and the
hatred for it festers
both of our lives
ran the fields
and
found life inside each other.
as I drink this Pacific and
smoke this cigarette,
the smearing of
love
left its mark and impressed
it's reality like
a branding on
cattle.
now
the skies remain blue and the
wind still blows
my son still smiles at me
telling me not to
worry because everything will be
okay.
she made me feel good and
gave me a glimpse of
something that was forever
blurred in the distance.
choices were limited
because she put limits on
herself.
at this point on my timeline,
all I can do is
accept what is and hold onto
the love she
dangled in front of
me.
no matter what love is like
in 802701
I'll be dead, long gone and
buried.
God will decide what love is
to become...
but at the very least, I knew
what love could have been
during the lifetime
I
wrote
poetry.
