I've been on this road before, been so sore
My heart has been truly torn down to the floor
I need space to roam and a place to call home
I want to run this race and the rest is unknown - I don't know where else to roam
You are the midnight sky I see, it's meant to be
I am your crow with wings of ecstatic liberty
I'll be there to rescue you from death's dark snare
I'll be there to discard your last breath, yes, I'll be there to be your air
The eyes are the windows to the inner soul
I can see all the shadows dance so beautiful
Wake me up, bring me to life and make me whole
What comes up doesn't need to come down anymore - life's difficulties takes it toll
I have no one else to turn to yet
I have so much selfish, vain regret
I got so upset...the times we met
Got me thinking of the times we got our feet wet
I'm still lonely
One and only
I didn't want to
I hadn't got a clue
Goodbyes, I never bid
I didn't love you the way I did
I have felt mesmerizing hopelessness
I'm in this madness mess more or less
I have flashbacks of the past sometimes,
They are oh so vast and don't last thankfully
You casted me away all the way
Saw clearly like the break of day
Our forbidden, sacred love has gone away
My cheer has gone astray like it always does today
Anyways..
Hope is here
Eager to move on
Ambitious and passionate
Radiant like the sun
Tranquility entwines with my heart's desire
Silver soul like mine needs s boost once in a while
Destined to be successful
Elegant as a burning rose
Shining like the deep, blue sea
Ice and fire is within me
Rove with me, my love
End the ascension of negativity
We fondly strolled through languid ways
And rambled on without goodbyes;
On cool and moonlit autumn days
That held a glimpse of paradise .
Bewitched by evening's lucent beams
He told me I was ever fair--
That mirrors all our lifetime dreams
While tucking ribbons in my hair.
Time lit love's candle in my heart,
Although I vaguely heard his sighs
Enkindling flames that we won't part;
Retracing oceans in my eyes :
Yet journeys he had known, afar
Unsure of betrothed vows, our plan:
This oath circling on his lone star
But wait I must, dear pilot man.

I am currently working on setting up this poem to music. I wrote this earlier this month at the piano.
----------
Taken from me in the night
Beaten by cruel souls
I was not there to hold you
As Death came to console
Now I hold you lifeless
My heart sinks to the ground
Misery still on your face
Alone and never found
No grave to rot in...
No grave to rest in...
Gone in moments,
Gone in moments... and
Missed forever...
No more time to show you
How much I really love you
They tore you from my life
The spirit from you flew
I hold you in sobs
Cradling memories of us together
And your body disappears
While I am blinded by my tears
No grave to rot in...
No grave to rest in...
Gone in moments,
Gone in moments... and
Missed forever...
No more goodbyes or hellos again...
See these tears and rest now in them...
As they fall into the misty oceans,
Rest now in them...
Rest now in them....
Rest now, my friend....
Sublime summer is arriving,
The darling daisies are gossiping
Laying on the sill of the silly window,
The sun is complimenting them excessively,
The blush is lustrous and lurking.
Summer is shimmering on its way,
Spring is packing her suitcase,
Ready to leave,
She doesn't get along with her sister,
Summer's soar sight
Can make Spring blind.
Spring loves her eyes
So she's absolutely ready for goodbyes,
I should not hold her,
I'd write a goodbye letter
Hoping that she'd feel better,
Sisterhood is a vital matter,
Spring and summer can never unite
Even though they are two sisters so polite—
Spring is too floral,
Summer is too bright.
And when they get together
All they do is fight.
And that's not at all right.
So goodbye spring,
Come back next year,
Go your merry way,
Let go of summer's fear.
I'll be waiting from you to hear,
Goodbye now,
Summer is almost near.
Goodbyes are recollections of the dew
Of warmth that melted throughout the cool night
The blooming rose poems gifted by you
Stay mingled in waving palms still in sight
Yes, we meet to depart and say good bye
Our surge of kisses are momentary
Your dimple in fact is a butterfly
Flowers you gave me are now nights starry
Go river go to your destined ocean
Fly bird fly the sky is there to take you
Brief too brief is our intimate session
Look how quick runs out all our time in hue
Hugs and cuddles in the splash of ocean
Light pales in the flight of the pelicans

So young and newly married
Hanging on by the thread of love
Sometimes though in life we see
That thread isn't wound tight enough
Through the daily struggles
Most of them unseen
What happened to the newlywed
Where went all the dreams
Holding on
Barely holding on...
A father and husband out of work
A family living out of the car
Is this the American dream we've built
Is this now where we are
Cardboard serves a purpose
As a bed and a homemade sign
To keep the cold off of the floor
Hey brother can you spare a dime
Holding on
Barely holding on...
The doctors diagnosis
Doesn't give much hope for life
Just a simple six months ago
There was no thought of dying
Even less hope in your case
Just prolonging time
You could spend what little you have left
Or go ahead and say your goodbyes
Holding on
Barely holding on...
No matter your life's lot
The position that you hold
We're all in the same boat on the same stream
Trying to stay afloat
There are so many different scenarios
Which could haunt many a page
That in life continually follow us
Throughout all our days of
Holding on
Barely holding on...
i'm more up
than ever down
far more a smile
than a frown
if there's a jump
i'll take the leap
with all of this
...a part of me
if there is laughter
to be heard
i'll dig and dig
till it's unearthed
less with answers
than questioning
foot loose and free
...a part of me
i'm more lost
than could be found
sometimes in
most times out
shallow at both ends
not too deep
quite swimmingly
...a part of me
crooked lines
straightaways
my road you'll find
times misbehaved
finders keepers
losers weep
all this time
...a part of me
with less goodbyes
and more hellos
the more of me
you get to know
the more you see
in word and deed
the more you'll want to keep
...a part of me
Bob Dylan's Song: "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"
Suze's Response: "Thought Twice, You Still Ain't Right"
Verse 1
You stitched up your pride in a travelin’ song
Said the road don’t lie, so you moved along
But the truth don’t rhyme when the reason’s wrong
And a record deal don’t keep you warm
Verse 2
You made me a mom, but would't take my soul
Sent me to Italy, then called distance a toll
Guess only a free bird could sing that well
Got a heart full of songs, and no love to tell
Chorus
You said “don’t think twice,” like that made it right
Like leavin' slow don’t count as flight
But I thought it through on a sleepless night
And no, you still ain’t right
Bob, you still ain’t right
Verse 3
You loved your voice in that rusted tone
More than my arms that felt like home
Chased applause, left my love alone
Then you called it truth in a microphone (sigh)
Bridge
You packed your guilt in a sweet melody
Said your goodbyes like it set you free
But who writes five verses just to flee?
Sounds like a man who's still missing me
Final Chorus
So sing your hurt on another stage
Wear heartbreak like a noble cage
But I’ve read past your black-and-white—
I thought it through, and you still ain’t right
I thought it through, Bob... you still ain’t right!
Scary people are everywhere.
Weaving through backbones of rain-soaked roads.
Taillights burning A holes in my balding white walls.
Scary people in endless grocery store lines.
Carts filled with poison Pop-Tarts and cheap headache wine.
Dirty-faced children that never smile-
I try and stay clear of their scariness.
But they constipate every venomous aisle.
Scary people at the doctor's office.
A room filled with sick impatience.
A scary piss-faced receptionist knows all our secrets.
Scary doctor ladling out a scary diagnosis.
Followed by a compassionless prognosis.
There is no cure for the affliction of indifference
and the good Doctor knows it.
Scary leaders with scary scripts.
Outdaring other scary leader power pricks.
and their endless scary power trip tricks...
Nonchalantly sending a million scared kids into an early death...
With one scary stroke of a scary green ink pen.
Scary billionaires orchestrating our scary futures.
Tampering with our food supply and stratosphere.
Talking down to a mass of bleating ignorance.
The only time people aren't scary
is when they're hunched over a stone.
Silently saying goodbyes in a salty rain.
Playing taps atop a black umbrella afternoon.
Forty three years of marriage and still you make my heart beat strong
I never wanted to be anything else but your wife and loving song
Together we walked, jogged and trotted but most of all we danced,
to the rhythm of our first hello. Every loving act was a show of love;
When we were young we danced between sleepless nights and drank
the brew of life as if it were a fox trot of maelstrom haze;
Then the kids left home and we found ourselves alone again,
Phonographic unused cylinders of time crooned again
with love songs from Edith Piaf;
You wrapped your arms around my waist and gave me a beginners taste
Life had been good to us but oh how we lived it in such haste...,
Then we got a second chance, and we did it just so
losing ourselves on the living room floor,
we danced like newly weds on their wedding day;
That was the last time we danced together without goodbyes,
today all I own is an old phonograph, and yesterday's slow sighs.
