The Mind

manifest itself into a fantasy.
I should re-write this into a story.

Who are you child,
who sits on my knee,
all dressed in purple and brown?
What is this riddle,
you just told to me,
about elephants, monkeys and clowns?
Your tale of visions
conjures, up in my mind,
a picture of events, yet to be
and reminds me of a day,
many, long years ago,
when it was I who sat on a knee.
Trip the light fantastic,
please don't fall out of bed,
for I need to see you,
before you have fled.
Please tell me tomorrow,
if you still feel this way.
If you don't, I'll understand,
then I'll go away.
You mean more to me,
than my words can say.
If the feeling is mutual,
then, here I'll stay.
Do you think it's right,
to pass judgement on me?
Found all of my flaws,
so, you can now, see?
When your hatred,
exceeds ice in a iced tea,
you will be a sinner,
The same as me.
Don't say you love me,
even if you do,
I will vanish now,
and there will only be you.
It was year 2001,
we knew nothing,
about, what was to come.
We were happy,
the Century was done.
We, never thought,
we'd see the World succumb.
Yet here we are,
my wife is gone,
and I must pretend,
to live my life, like a song.
When it is over,
will you relent,
or have the damages,
left you with your nose bent?
Anger, should be,
to understand,
except when your feet,
are stuck in the sand.
We are Actors,
in our own life's plays.
We play actors in life,
until the end of days.
Our roles, all different,
as they should be,
for we are all players,
in the scenes, we see.
I hope we are called lovers,
by all who we know
and the love is truthful,
once it's decided to go.
I'm happy to know you,
and for all which you do.
My heart, bursts with joy,
whenever I see you.
You are not my love,
to take.
I'm so sorry, if,
your heart, I break.
Naked branches,
across the sky,
a moonlit background.
Why, oh, why?
Do the simple,
things in life.
Create joy,
not causing strife.
Await a visit,
from afar,
while you observe,
a falling star.
Writing words, to paper,
will disappear with disdain,
as overtime,
memories, wane.
Nothing was special,
dreams were fast,
as disinterest prevailed
and didn't last.
You said you
loved me,
but we couldn't let
anyone see.
I understood the reason,
as old as I be.
You are younger,
do we have compatibility.
It doesn't matter, at all,
to me.
The age differential,
will be harder on thee.
Only a few days, remain,
you will be free,
to find someone who,
loves you more than me.
Life's sad tale supplemented,
with love,
Hopefully will be addressed,
by those up above.
He saw her again,
it was yesterday,
Was she a visitor,
or did she, here stay?
Unanswered questions,
not his to say.
When he saw her again,
his heart melted away.
Concentrate on the items in life
Long ago, in bye gone days,
when times were cold and hard,
there lived a man, a lonely man
who lived without regard,
for the thoughts of others.
Solitary, singular, lonely man,
please think of your amends,
for if you stay the way you are
you will soon have no friends.
So be you kind to those who are
the core that you surround
and you will find that those who care
will still want you around.
