My village around the borderland, estranged
Mountain from the other side, rejoiced within gray shaded area to bloom
Echoed the echo of the midnight hymn, darkened a shade, deeper fill in xanthosis, lasted beyond the yonder valley o'er the meadow, fall color blossomed then.
Echoed a sound lasted, I heard, an echoed a sound lasted
Eavesdrop and a try , as I meant for that
Beyond the sensible perception, to understand
Opening the eyes, I try to see
A failure to gaze to perceive a gaze
Closing my eyes , I am a fanciful thought
O intellect , I failed to perceive that
I am a failure to a thousand mountaineer causes , caused
A failure to climb those events larger than a life, presented
Echoed the echo of the midnight hymn, darkened a shade, deeper fill in xanthosis, lasted beyond the yonder valley o'er the meadow, fall color blossomed then.
Echoed a sound lasted, I heard, an echoed a sound lasted.

Their marriage lasted three hundred and eighty-eight days.
This was two hundred and eight days longer than most thought it could.
I showed this number to those who had predicted six months.
Gloating a bit for I had figured it would last a bit over a year.
So many losses though; a grandma and a grandpa losing their grandchildren now.
Too bad the grandchildren were hugged and cajoled into this marriage.
Sadly, their lives may never be the same, now that their new grandparent is gone.
Does anyone ever think about the children when they go into these things?

It was good while it lasted... the smell of bacon the sniff of a watermelon fresh cut morning grasses. The caressing of my lover living young then growing old together. The whims of the a newborn baby. Those the fluorescent sweet flowers daffodils, roses, tulips, lavender. Though a tear running down my cheek. The calming soothing sweet smells of a babies feet. The warm brightness of the sun on my forehead brighten me. I savor the flavor of chocolate milk butter toast butter rice or sugar in my bowl of cereal standing industry as warm blood runs through it as Jesus parts the skies any people Warring killing and fighting. Many people cry it was good while it lasted life itself but it's much much better in heaven that's what's next be it good or bad happy or sad it was so good, it was good while it lasted...

The decorations on the Christmas Tree
were spectacular, all seemed a wonderland
created not only for children who love presents;
although the snow did not fall, it still looked magical...
who could have wished for a more perfect scene?
Why has the Christmas joy lasted only for one day?
The dazzling lights and the laughter of Santa
lifted spirits up, they all smiled and believed in him;
the long wait has ended for the kids anxious
to open their gifts and stay up 'till the early hours
of the arising morning and slowly falling asleep!
Carolers stopped by my door and sang,
in those serene glances, I saw warm and familiar faces
who had gone to Heaven and reached out to me;
no tear fell, gladness filled that emptiness...
I could have cried, but joy replaced sadness instantly!
Why has the Christmas joy only lasted for one day?
Shouldn't it be lasting all year round and keep
everybody happy? See the expressions in the eyes
of the young ones, it's disappointment and greed:
more presents would be awesome! Would they be bored
to play and continue to show those long faces?

It was good while it lasted
The grass is always greener after the fire
it was good while it lasted
Skyscrapers touching stomach of the clouds
Winds whistling loud
it was good while it lasted
The early spring morning
Bird singing, flowers glowing
Until this Sun...
Burning scorching
covered by the clouds
Thunder and lightning surrounded the crowd
And the picnic had to end
For the rain began
Storms coming thunder and lightning
People running to their cars
Frightened by the storm the change of the weather
Quickly they drive home
They were saddened...
it was good while it lasted

It was good while it lasted
After the fire ultraviolet
It was good while it lasted
The grass Is Always Greener
Terrestrial arena
Boll of cotton
Hope miss- mistrusting
It was good while it lasted
Watermelon in the lily of the valley
Ever so sadly Melancholy Humanity

Summer is finally coming to an end;
Back to teachers and an old or new friend.
Leaves on the trees, are beginning to fall;
Hoping its worth the hurt after all.
Memories made, slowly fading away;
Snow covering flowers from the month of may.
Upset in the cold that a flower eventually dies;
Searching the world, for that look in your eyes.

Fruitful with cheer
I smile from over here
She gave me a smile
Love lasted for awhile
Life is worth living
She holds my hand forgiving
I reach out to her
She closes the door
I open myself to her
She doesn’t respond, I abhor
We still carry on
As if love can create a dawn
I rely on her strength
To get me through in length
I hold her very close
Even though our life is comatose
Our relationship just died
And I don’t know why
It could be the distance
We are apart this instance
Leagues away from each other
So far I cry; I’d rather
Be separated too, so we agree
We must end our spree
Of lustful bliss, you and me
Though we had moments of joy
Now we are happier I employ
Russell Sivey
Story is made up, my wife and I are doing great!
