There's something else
I'm meant to do
before I spend
my time with you.
Complete myself
with no regret
for missing what
I don't have yet.
It's up to me,
reassembled,
edges smoothed
and chains untangled.
It isn't selfish
that I'm being.
The purge, the clean
allows my breathing.
So, let me be
for just a while.
Live your life
and let me smile.
The day will come,
not far away,
I'll offer free
my heart away.
Hard t'say if he really tries t'break the bonds of which he cries. Maybe yes, maybe not so much, maybe just afraid t'get back in touch.
ReplyDeletewould ya look what hangin' with ya poets has done, here?
I mean. the difference is fine and all....
but m'words don't always sound so clear
but, I guess they didn't always walk as much as crawl.
wait a minit....wait a minit....what the dickens is happening here? Have I flipped?
ReplyDeleteHave I slipped? Has someone slipped me acid and I tripped?
Too much sugar, not enough protien
the effects of which are easily seen.
Potatoe chips fer dinner, dear?
"what's potatoes, precious," is what I hear.
Time t'pack up and go home I 'spect. Else the dogs'll give me disrespect.
WOW...
ReplyDeleteSince it's midnight here, m'dear
ReplyDeleteI know it's midnight there too, I fear.
Yer ride will turn t'pumpkin and mice
unless ya take this short advice
Go sleep, and dream of grassy green lawns
soft rivers and the rising dawns.
advice is taken
ReplyDeletewith much regret
the evening play is joy.
your puppies are waiting
their dinner is late-ing
they've probably chewed a toy.
g'nite dear sir.
And, how close y'are t'the deed done. But, neither toys or even rocks.
ReplyDeleteInstead they took their grief out on a pair of innocent socks.
The trick seems to be' then
ReplyDeletet'know exactly when
t'sneak over and leave a quick note....
Then much later, y'see, when ya get tired of ol' me, I mention that there's something else I wrote.
tired of you?
ReplyDeletenot here, sir.
