Strong language.


Poem Artwork

 

To bow out gracefully
On second thought
Maybe not
Who really gives a f***?
Middle aged romantic
Could care less about luck
Riding winds of change
Path of least resistance
Chronic third degree
Watching in amusement
At times
Stark bewilderment
Chronic pain
Albatross indeed
Glowing midnight sun
Screams she is the one
Deepest depths within him
Speechless
He knows better
“She”
Has gone away
No longer wants to play
Social pantomime
Frustrating epilogue
For what it’s worth
He cared
Before his soul lay bare
No fire in her eyes
No substance to her lies
Only sad goodbyes
White empty coffin
Prepared for circumstance
All he wants to do is dance……

Bill, this write reminds me of one of those 1950's black and white melodramas that never had a happy ending. Very nice writing.

Cheers,
Dan
