My Old Friend

I missed you
My good friend
We can share a pew
And transcend

Transcend my feelings
My feelings of obscurity
In all routine dealings
Reducing my security

Fall left to right
Shift backwards
The sun so bright
Unable to say words

Where do you hide
In the summertime
Where do you reside
Rushing back time after time

To disrupt my life
Bewitching me
Causing such strife
Not letting me flee

Fleeing the troubles
Fleeing the nuisance
Fleeing the intangibles
Fleeing the assurance

Assurances of stability
Assurances of normality
Assurances of survivability
Assurances of congeniality

I become tired
I become annoyed
I become angered
I become destroyed

Hard to accept
This reoccurring crap
Not well kept
In this sinister trap

Trap of denial
Trap of betrayal
Trap of carnal
Trap of abnormal

This is not just
Give me relief
Can you adjust
And reduce your grief

You must
No other choice
Or you will rust
And lose your voice

Stay steady
Bulk up
Reduce your anxiety
Accept your cup

Ferocious Tide

 Why do I grieve
 Gave it my all
 Rewarded with a reprieve
 To stand alone and tall
  
 Reprieve from stress
 Walking on eggshells
 A game of chess
 With no wedding bells
  
 More money
 To spend everyday
 Milk and honey
 Spend it my way
  
 Travel the world
 Sights to see
 Twirl and whirl
 I am free
  
 Drugless
 My mind works
 I must confess
 These are perks
  
 Write my rhyming verse
 Create and produce thought
 I have beaten the curse
 No more brain rot
  
 Not drugged dumb
 As a mindless ghoul
 I have overcome
 The ceaseless  drool
  
 But is it all that great
 To have all this
 Without a mate
 To hug and kiss
  
 This is why I mourn
 I have lost my buddy
 Our love torn
 My heart muddy
  
 I am so conflicted
 So many upsides
 I am unrestricted
 But a ferocious tide
  
   So may extremes
 A passionate obsession
 I had so many dreams
 And a confession
  
 I miss her
 She was unique
 A sweet liqueur
 An aura of mystique
  
 There will be no one like her
 No one to replace our fun
 I miss being her chauffeur
 But we are done
  
 She sees no need
 For a sidekick
 Independent and freed
 She is her own chick
  
 And this is life
 Not very equitable and fair
 Without a wonderful wife
 And a journey to share
  
 A treacherous fate
 To be alone
 Which I do hate
 Nearing my gravestone
  
 No reason to seek
 Another to share
 I am past my peak
 Along with my wear and tear
  
 Enjoy the positives
 And all their good yields
 Eliminate the negatives
 And their battlefields
  
 Slow down
 Stay true
 Do not frown
 Or turn blue
  
 The easiest way to enjoy
 What time is unexpended
 Be good and a kind boy
 As God intended
