No more
will you
be
someone special
to me.
My feelings
will fade
my eyes won’t cry
my lips tasting
only
bitter replies.
My heart
though
will feel the same
loving you
forever
Forever My Love!
It will exclaim.

Looking back
Looking ahead
In between
I live
I live without dread.

I need the money
I need
the fame.
That’s what I tell myself
in
the hour of vain.
Neither will accomplish
a happy journey
through life.
Only create heartache
anger
misery and strife.

My heart, my thoughts and prayers
are with Ukraine and their strong heroic people
in this battle
they are courageously fighting.
My heart aches
Seeing armies invade, taking land
Not theirs
Hearing cries, bombs
Flashing
Deadly lights
The world reels
As despots steal countries
Not theirs
They don’t care
If lives are lost, hearts broken
Life torn apart
Seek a way to stop
This annexation of what is
Not theirs
Please God
Please show me
Show me how today.

How can I be something
I never should be?
How can I leave behind
all that has been good to me?
Where will I go?
What will I do?
No answers, only questions
I know
not
what to do.

I wouldn’t have gotten here
If
I hadn’t been there.

May your Love
be
Generous
and
let’s play
in
Happiness
all day!

I hear you calling
I see your face
yet
I don’t understand
all you’ve done
what
has been your choice.
If I answer
if
I smile to your face
does that mean
I’m part of
complicit with
what you’ve done
what
has been your choice?
