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

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
