Okay - it is, after all, the season for these things.
The first one is a goofy anti-D poem without a title (actually, I don't title much of my work so suggestions are welcome - and no, I am not changing the title of these to "Please Delete") and since it is another of several of my first-draft items of very questionable worth.. I figured I would throw a couple of near greeting-card-worthy seasonal others, LOL (a writers approach to camouflaging crap, I’m afraid). It seems an easy time of year to put pen to page... None of these are great so I won't blame anyone who opts not to suffer through them ;)
Cheers!

I thought we’d be forever
Or until the end was through
My trust still without limits
And my heart and all, you knew
Each day was an adventure
We discovered life anew
You let me explore the world
Gave me strength to follow through
I never saw it coming
Who’d believe it, who could see?
My chance for safety fleeting
I am sure this shouldn’t be
Betrayed by my own body
You attacked yourself it seems
So changed my life forever
Like odd and frightening dreams
Suddenly life is fractured
I am forced to intercede
Though still we live together
I no longer trust my body…
-a strange, strange place indeed…
...
Dancing by fire between shadows and light Losing the loneliness in darkness this night Tasting sweet magic one heartbeat it seems Transforming our world with memories and dreams ... Don’t listen to the distance For it tells you I’m away It says that I’m not near you That there’s room to go astray The distance may deceive you Though reality is clear My love will last forever That won’t change when you’re not here. Know the distance is a trick A small game with space and time Since you are always with me In my heart and in my mind So don’t worry when the miles Seem to keep us far apart You’ll be with me forever You’re held close within my heart.
Okay - gang - please - someone else post something! :)
Cheers,
A-D
