Long Had a good run Poems

My friends have always hated Valentine's Day.
They ridiculed the pimply-faced boys
Whose hormone-infused offerings
Smell of Axe cologne and sweaty palms.

Greater the mocking of pubescent princesses
Who prance and twirl and collect tokens
From admirers like shells on a...

you're heartless... a cold hearted "witch"
you're a hex on me from the wicked, wicked witch
you're selfish...wanting what’s best for you
there's evil... a devil in you too

you're an angel; a demon in disguise
a saint; a sinner...

How do I know that you're not the one?

It feels like it ought to be the reverse, 
When all of this time we've had so much...

If I Go Before Farewell

I was the harvest of the black hooded Specter of Death
Caught by surprise He stole my last breath
His Scythe cut me down mechanically with dispassion
My heart lost it's rhythm, my color...

'Everybody said that we won't last'
'Give it some time, you're young, it'll pass'
Alas;
They were right 
Regardless of how much I put up a fight, 
The tunnel was excruciatingly endless, 
There seemingly never was a light...

I’ve heard whisperings,
rumors of a new manifest destiny.
What that entails, I can’t be sure.
But it’s bound to happen.
Rumors always stem from some sort of truth.
And I intend to find it, even if it tears me...

The time has come for me to move on, 
to let go of things I've held for so long
with a new day and time I've tried to forget, 
all the pain in my life from...

So you’ve been discarded
Like the trash you thought you were
And all the fears you can’t defer
Steal the heart you left unguarded

You feared she didn’t feel the same
She new her mind changed about you, though
She never...

A revolving door of visiting friends
 Old and new, at the hospital, day by day.
     Stalked by death's brooding shadow;
      Cancer-stricken and terminally ill,

My wife has been asking for a divorce
I'm thinking this time that she is right
It's been a long time in the making
And I know I've put up a good fight

All the time that we've spent...

We have had a good run,
peerless under the sun,
sired the likes of Einstein, 
Da Vinci and Beethoven,
though such genius is lost
on the bear and the pelican. 

But perhaps our greatest gift 
to this our common...

For years I kept that scripture out
In plain view, in a spot
On a rounded backsplash in sight
So, I'd not God's name blot    

When I answered the business phone
At our house, free labor
Until...

	Abstract like the last page, 
	LAMENTING and REGRETTING this lone end;
	Cowering like a lost, blind sage, 
	DISCOVERING in EXPLORING this odd bend. 

	Ever thought that I've brought this upon myself,
	Had frequent TOURS and MORE with...

You can break my heart
You can make me lonely
You can forsake my love
But I ask of you only
Don't crush my pride
Don't leave me denied
Please give me a last kiss goodbye

A kiss goodbye
Will let my heart...

You cannot know my heart,
or what you've put it through.

Now I'm running away from you.

So don't you...

You are a sadistially
 twisted
A 5 star strategist 
Utilizing 
psychological
warfare
Methodically 
weaving your
weapons of
mass destruction
An artillery that
penetrated my psyche 
Leaving me confused 
by your stealth 
and deception 
Maneuvering me
into believing
that I was nothing
Poisoning my mind
with your...
