I do not know who you are You talk three hours through a screen We did debate and spar Not ugly or mean We played with each other And talked and talked We enjoyed one another Our emotions not locked But what happened that very day You did not respond or communicate You replied with nothing to say Causing me much frustration You sent a positive message You missed me as a companion I thought we had a shot My plight was not a deep canyon I raced to see you To talk to you in person So much hope to renew Only to worsen You would not see me You would not talk Address my plea What a shock You did not want to come out And tell me your troubles And what this was about My apprehension doubles Why did you call the night before Why did we flirt and play Why did you spend 3 hours on the phone Why did you act like the good old days But I learned reality You came outside And said you were free And your position was clarified You did not see us long term You did not want to lead me on You were very definite and firm You did not want me as a pawn It was hard for me to listen I was denied and rejected Your tears did glisten I pleaded and objected Holding you tight You were so frail It was the end of the night And I took flight As I drove away I realized so much And knew it his way Our life would be dutch No more togetherness No more reliance No more dependence No more shared memories Two lives afloat In our own little ships Circling in a moat On our own trips The next day I realized We are good friends My memories prized And I wanted to make amends We can be pals and mates Open to conversation Definitely no romantic dates And no long term relations We can be kind And we can be heartfelt All a matter of the mind And the cards we are dealt Friends for life What does that mean Not husband and wife A future unseen

Remember
I remember When I was younger I was a member And did not hunger I was strong I was healthy and fit I sang a happy song I had my wit I did not worry For my health I was in a hurry To make my wealth This was my affiliation Make money and win Part of a capitalistic nation But this was a sin To chase money Forgetting the rest It was not sunny Much distress I wanted it all But pursuing wealth Created a great brawl Lurking with stealth Destroyed relations Forgotten friends Missed donations Not making amends Strained relationships Desensitized to everyone Emotionless trip Kindness and empathy none Emotions scattered Health in ruin Definitely battered Ready to be done in Life falls apart Little by little Leading to a bad heart So brittle But I am an associate Paying taxes and voting A member of our capitalist state But I am not gloating I forgot the truth I forgot the guidelines I forgot the nursery rhymes I forgot the wisdom books A wealth of knowledge I learned long ago I must acknowledge I did know Charity Forgiveness Compassion Moderation Why did I not Live a life That I was taught Without conflict and strife Was I needy Was I selfish Was I greedy Was I foolish Yes I can agree I made a mess I was privileged and free Why did I need more Why could I not be happy Why did I war Why was I snappy Who cares All that is gone Drop your airs Today is a new dawn Life is here And kind Listen and hear Open your mind To another earth One of jubilation Allowing a rebirth Out of damnation To a life of fraternity Remembering community Now and for eternity My new opportunity
Night to Day
Time spent Time lost Time went Time tossed She was the one I could love She was the sun I write of Beautiful Funny Intelligent Nurturing Just as in a day The sun sets Everything turns gray Blackness forgets The warmth The laughs The smiles The togetherness You lose your way You forget the daylight You wander astray You take flight Fly away Hide away Stay away Run away Less stress To run and hide Less mess Easier on my pride I am not wrong I am not mistaken I am not amiss I am not wrongheaded I was slighted I was insulted I was uninvited I was not consulted Was it necessary Was it essential Was it contrary Was it sequential No Not at all To go toe to toe And to hit a wall Now in darkness Stumbling about Nothing but starkness No way out I am alone With my thoughts And a slight moan My stomach in knots I will wander Seeking reality I will ponder What is the key The key to fellowship The key to friendship The key to relationship The key to life Almost complete Running out of time Cannot cheat Not in my prime Stumble along While everyone is asleep Try to be strong Do not weep Understand After every night Sun comes to the land So struggle and fight Say hello Wear a smile Do not judge others Just love and accept
Torment
I do not know Does it really matter The ongoing show Life and dreams in tatter My brain goes dead My eyes are hurt by sunlight My sudden falls I dread My words are not right A rare disease A common anxiety Just please please Not so much variety Give me a concern Give me a fight Give me a turn Give me the right Right to control Right to fix Right to be whole Right to end the conflicts Conflicts of doubt Conflicts of pain Conflicts to act out Conflicts of strain I am tired What is worse A life expired Or alone in the universe I am not afraid to die Jesus is there It is not a lie In the Lord’s care I afraid to be alone It is stressful A great unknown Very distressful Why why why Can I not be content I want to cry A great torment Tormented by what No human touch Not clear cut Or just too much Do I smother Do I overwhelm One after another Making it my realm Drive people away Make them afraid To share and play My torments are homemade I cannot understand A balanced life together I demand and demand All to be hooked by a tether Can I change Find a way To rearrange My greatest dismay Confined in solitary I have friends We can be merry But that where it ends No one to dance No companionship No romance No courtship I have tried I have bailed I have cried I have failed It is my fate To go one more time Is it too late To make my life rhyme Be told Be courageous Be bold It is advantageous
All About Today
I am not sure or know If I will waste away and die Every day go with the flow Daily just soar and fly Fly like a bird Enjoy the ride Move ever forward Take life in stride Stride day by day One day at a time Merriment and play A life that will rhyme Rhyme requires two Words that go together Why can it not be you To get me through bad weather I know I know another place And another time it is not right But I want to see your face Side by side through this fight A companion buddy sidekick Who enjoys the journey And we are familiar and klick Through many tourneys We are familiar We are comfortable We are known We are snug Yes it can be hard I can be frustrated Leaving you scarred With words I have stated But you are not perfect Ignoring and hurting me Increasing the conflict But let us agree to disagree All the naming and blaming Is a waste of energy and strength I am proclaiming and exclaiming I will go through any length To apologize and to repent I am so so sad Because it is not my hearts intent To be so mean and bad You may not trust me And want me back It is your choice to be free If there was a tiny crack Where we could amend Our life dreams My best friend I wish it is our theme A theme of love A theme of us A theme of care A theme of respect All of the good things Life demands As we soar on our wings Over the badlands We fly in unity Twisting and turning Searching for opportunities For our lifes yearnings Soaring higher and higher Flying unrestricted and liberated I hear the angels choir Beautiful and orchestrated Enjoy the glorious songs On journeys we navigate Easing and erasing our wrongs From our first to our last date
