Surrender

I am alone
I will never have the
"Faery tale ending"
There will be nothing but-me
By myself in an old
Rocking chair
Watching the sun chase
The moon
In that endless dance
They do
I used to dance
I would laugh as you
Spun me around the room
Dangerously close
to the edge
But that's gone
You're gone
And I'm all that's left
A weary wizened old man
Who has loved and
Loved lost
And not felt the better for
Loving at all
I am so tired
So cold
So exhausted
from the fight
I am so close
To giving in
I wave the white flag
In surrender
Bowing my head in
Defeat

Mid May

The softness of the breeze, gently cooled his sun warmed skin. After so many rainy days, waiting for, the summer to begin. The heat wasn't remarkable, but it chased away his memory of the cold.

That one day, I stumbled upon. The memories that had been locked away. My head became flooded. I thought there was no way. That time and day you went away. Was the day I could not hold.

Without You

So much I have yet to say, I have yet to find a way, Would I could just tell you all, Afraid I am that you won't call. The phone is silent, Landline dead, Regretting all I did and said.

Thoughts

I stare blindly into an empty glass, the last dregs of bourbon reflecting my lined face, distorting it, ....just as time distorts my thoughts of you... .....oh sure they were good times.

Growing Old.

She sits alone, her thoughts for company. Looking out into the garden. They've all grown up and left home now, once where laughter echoed now only a clock on the mantel sits patiently tick tick tick.

The picture of you. Standing tall in your. clothes. Leaves me feeling an ache. Through my bones. The picture of you. Smiling so sexy and sweet. With such a sharp and. Wicked grin. The picture of you.
