lovenlosses

Spider veins and wrinkles
On going aches and pains 
Everything is changing
Nothing stays the same. 

I came in here for something
I walked right through that door
What was it that I wanted?
What did I come here for? 

The name of that new movie
With the girl …. you know her name
The one who once was married
To the guy from Hunger Games.

Can’t remember, did I take that pill?
Did I take one or maybe two?
What’s going to happen  if I did?
Oh no, what should I do?

Should I call the doctor?
Or maybe 911?
Should I drink more water 
Yikes, the rumblings begun. 

Always  in the bathroom
If not one, then number two
At least,  I’m not in diapers yet
But that could happen, too!

My bladder and my kidneys 
Are not so kind to me
I constantly feel pressure
Feels like I have to pee.

What about this back pain?
It never goes away
I’m dealing with Sciatica 
Almost every single day. 

They say I’m hard of hearing
I try to nod a lot
Guess repeating  is annoying
They get pissed, when I say… What?

My gait , that of a turtle
My pace , like an old snail
My legs and joints are giving out
Old age ….. a living hell!

You can’t give him immunity 
My God that’s pure insanity
Can’t close your eyes, hope for the best
Because he threatens more unrest. 

Devoid of honor, ethics or morals
He loves to fight, encourages quarrels
Would put to death any opponents
Assassinations? Yes, a proponent. 

Doesn’t care ..…. Ignores the facts
Prepares to fight, he will attack
Distorted thinking, false sense of self
He is unstable, Yes…. he needs help.

The team of nine, five so afraid
Oh what a mess the Donald’s made
Everyone now fears his wrath 
Don’t want to cross his campaign path.

Afraid of what he’ll think of you? 
Afraid of what he just might do?
Just one man, so weak , so small
Filled with anger, vengeance and gall.

He lies, he cheats, he sets the stage 
He threatens vengeance thru his rage
Don’t give in, it’s a mistake
He is evil, vile and fake.

Dear Lord, he’s  not above the law
All nine of you should make the call
Stop the madness, set things straight
He’ll never make this country great!

Your  hands rough, calloused and hard
You worked late, till after dark
Walked home alone thru the  park
No fear of …. wild dogs or sharks. 

You left me , I was standing there
Never could tell …. if you really cared
I was feeling so lost and scared
You weren’t one who liked to share. 

Out there …. on the ledge alone
You told me .… I’m going home
Knew you planned on getting stoned
I longed for a crumb or bone.

Smoke from your cigarette
Helped you to …. relax , forget
Was good as. …. it’s going to get
Got undressed, and into bed.

Your paintings of blue and green
A cool flowing summer stream
A vision that you had seen
With eyes closed, once in a dream. 

I held you , I pulled you close
Those moments I loved the most
Your heartache, troubles and woes
That side of you .… that no one knows.

Met for a drink
We spent some time
Both wanting more
Than peace of mind. 

The very least
A sense of closure
You said to me 
This isn’t over. 

A few cocktails 
The lights were low
Not thinking straight
You said, “let’s go”.

So into you
Could not resist 
Wanted more
Much more than this. 

Two blocks away
You lived close by
The plan to give it
One more try. 

Gave into you
Took off my clothes
I stayed the night
I didn’t know.

You were asleep
When I got dressed 
My hair disheveled 
I was a mess. 

Occurred to me
What did I do?
You weren’t alone
She lived there, too.

A photograph 
Of you together
Above the frame 
It said, FOREVER.

Her clothes, her shoes
In your apartment
I didn’t know
Now so disheartened.

My mistake
I should have known
I thought for sure
You lived alone.

You said, I’m done with her
You said, you walked away
Told me you won’t go back
But, each time she finds a way. 

Into your broken heart
You always let her in
Takes off her dress, her shoes 
Now there you go again.

Can never say goodbye
Won’t tell her …. she should go
She has her way with you 
The answer’s never… “no”.

Each time she pulls you in
I watch you from afar
Nothing I can do
You get back into her car. 

You’ll go, she knows it too
Gotta know she’s using you
Nothing’s  going to ever change 
You’ll keep going back … again. 

She’s laughing, so sure of you
She comes back, knows what you’ll do.  
Pours another glass of wine
Says I’m yours and you are mine. 

She tells you …. she loves to be
In your arms then falls asleep
Never stays, not very long
When you wake up, she will be gone.

Falling asleep
Up too late 
In too deep!

Hoping the jurors

Be careful, Donny
Your pants will catch fire.

Don’t let him win
Take back your rights
Be rid of him.
