It always turns into a poem

It always turns into a poem, it must mean, mustn’t it, that there is something else within, anyway, for now, I’m trying to write about something strange, something far from known before, or not even half understood, some strange feeling.


It’s not anger, and it’s not loss; there is a deal of not living up to reality, there is a deal of keeping your image alive, but it is not yet, at least I hope, not yet an infatuation.


And that’s the thing that scares me, in this what is almost calm serenity; do I risk rolling over to an hungry infatuation, do I risk that, by keeping your image alive.


By using you for my poetry, for writing down and remembering, I’m seeing you each evening, and taking you to my dreams, do I risk an hungry infatuation, that will eat me, eat me half alive.


Or is this path truly more cathartic, is it a passage towards a closure, will this calm feeling of now grow into something stronger, bringing me, giving me, without you forever, leaving me, giving me new hope.

It’s a tightrope life I’m living

It’s a funny path to tread

Trod with boots of lead

We never really said

Goodbye


Now we are just not talking

Lifting the telephone but choking

Dark nights alone chain smoking

Goodbye


Fearful for and of the future

Careless with the lucre

Time turns sour not sucre

Goodbye


My words through my mind are sieving

This tightrope line, it’s a tightrope life I’m living

Hope is here, oddly so so often it is forgiving

Goodbye

It’s coring though not screaming

I core away my evening

I core away, to try to find a feeling

Revealing evening’s feelings

Coring through the old grey ceiling


Sealing the old but not forgotten feelings

Although without today, they have no meaning

Just before the time for dreaming

I am coring, stealing, and reeling


It’s coring though not screaming

It’s welcoming not scheming

It’s opening and it’s leaving

Leaving you, to encompass you, in my dreaming

Our dreams to longer ponder

For those of us, who are boys no longer

Those boys and girls, who are only left to dream

Boy, she sure brings those dreams much more closer

Close and mean she brings along the longer dream


For days and daze in summer sun she wanders

Days to see, to dream our old forgotten dreams

A skin of silk, a bosom without blemish

Thongs embrace, place for dreams to longer ponder


Oh yellow frock, your smock don’t shock or mock me

My feelings peel, I steal away to in my dreams reveal

A cappuccino, a writer’s hand upon my shoulder

Boy, I’m growing older, pray fold away my dreams

Not lonely, moments

These only, not lonely

My own

Only

Not lonely, moments


Only my own

Once lonely

Now only

My own, not lonely, moments


Moments

My own

Only my

My moments


Only, only

My only

My own

Moments only
