Imagination

You are in my head,
But you are not real
Watching everything I do,
What I think and touch and feel

Curling up next to me
A ghostly figure in the night
Arms wrapped around me
Holding me tight

Phantom hands holding fast
My head bowed low
Tears flowing freely
Knowing what I know

You share in my pain
Helping me to heal
But you are only in my head
I wish that you were real

The End of TIme

The End of Time

So hold me till I break

I’m made of sterner stuff

The universe will crumble first

Before it gets to rough

You have the best of hearts, love

When intentions mean it all

But watch your step when walking

Pride goeth before the fall

Children often don’t think

And taunt before they listen

But you and I will laugh till dawn

As they feed their own ambition

What matters at the end of time?

Who waits when daylight breaks?

The moon will only laugh at them

Who really knows the price, the stakes?

Hollow Rings

Hollow Rings

Inspired by The Hollow Crowns Trilogy.  All those loveless marriages before Henry the VII “invented” divorce.  The Kings may have gotten some side “something-something” but the women would have been watched oh so carefully.  Sucks.  Queen Anne may have lost her head but it created a great stride in saving people who are in bad marriages.  As Shakespeare said, “Many a good hangings prevents a bad marriage.”

The Autumn leaves begin to fall now

The time has come for honor’d vow

As on her head you place the crown

Think on what you have cast down

Time will past in measured stride

Will thirst no longer be denied?

A hunger for the missing link

If only you had time to think

But honor must ‘fore pleasure come

Hail the day with wine and rum

Later, regret on stilted wings

Will be borne down on silv’red rings

Naught to do but hold heads high

Live together alone until you die

Our Song

Our Song

I think our song is ending love

When tragedies are mentioned think on us

There was a great run for a while

When times were bright and gay

We laughed on golden shores

The hours whiled away without remark

Just sitting hand in hand, heart in heart

But now we must head into the sunset

Our lives to live again

It’s not alone I fear

It’s “without you” I dread
