Shattered

Shattered 

Another shattered Sunday, 
football, 
my beef stew,  
chatter with friends, liquor....
men searching answers to unanswered conundrums.  
The puzzles circles, 
endlessly 
always around the same topics.   
Wandering questions that go nowhere and answer nothing.  
Happy, 
delighted, 
hammered 
and confused.  
It is an endless procession for all of the men in this world.  
How do our women do this to us, 
How do we let this happen?
do we do this to ourselves.  
I am here, you are there, 
I love you, 
I hurt you, 
you hurt me.  
Why, 
to what end does this all go?  
I can't let go, I'm trapped by 
Your 
love.
If only in my imagination.

Are you back ? Seems in a way you are. I can't see you, I can't touch you, but you're here somewhere. Perhaps you've always been here, in my thoughts, In my soul My heart My desire Read more
