Absentee Feelings Rondine
Eat your heart out I know you see how I beam when I am in love; You could have worn me like a glove, or had the sweetest taste of me; Your feelings always absentee, what feeds my soul was disposed of; Eat your heart out; I found a man who will not flee unless he pulls me high above; Making sure...

The Absentee Fathers - I Cry For the Children
The Absentee Fathers (I cry for the children) You disc your children As though you don’t care. You cry you love them- But don’t give them the time of day. Your children look to other men For what you refuse to give They search for feelings You obviously can never feel. They long to take your hand And walk by your side. To have long...

Absentee of a Father
The feeling of doubt is when you have emptiness in your heart Your thoughts when your brain won't function the sadness and depression is consuming the darkness from the inside out It's when that someone who you loved so much just left and you don't know why The only thought that comes to your mind is it’s my...

Wedding To Unfailingly Attend
They were all briskly heading For a full member's wedding With an attached harsh Levy Only too fittingly heavy For The Careless Absentee, Who had stayed back like a tree; Not The Dying at that time, For that is Poor Health's own crime A New Couple for wild cheer While not skipping pleasing beer; Charles and Eve watch as they join And their church...

Absentee
How convoluted love may be When you are an absentee Falling in a pensive state Only to re-create... Enchantment from a clear conclusion Contemplating fiery fusion Though there they are with love by side Never really satisfied Clearly in a pensive mood Recovering from a feud Hence my love I do condemn For I wouldn't wanna be them...

The Absentee Student Takes His Test
He’s never heard one lesson of this class, but has to get a grade in history. So he’s shown up at last, sure he will pass the test that prior students say is easy! He feels no need to read the test’s directions. It uses letter symbols; he can tell he only needs to trust his recollections about the fifty states. He...

Absentee
A flaming red sun cast purple Against the foggy morn. A pale gray sky now awakened By sunlight and adorned The symphony in the valley Rises swiftly 'pon cool air Unmatched by Mockingbird's singing Then Crows take up their dare Back and forth the melodies sound They entertain one soul While most run and race about life Trying to gain control The bright illuminance shines forth As the...
