Fool's Gold Attention lonely hearts
because I know you're listening intently
you listen as I do
I know it's not my voice you long to hear
you know who is absent
I know I do
but as they say
any port in a storm
the drugs don't work
drugs-legal or illicit, people, sex, food, social media, shopping
pick your poisonous pleasure, they're all the same
some ruin you faster than others but
be honest
can you do that?
now that you're alone,
reading someone else's lonely poem?
You are better off alone
than with whomever decided to leave you alone
when someone leaves you
they are essentially telling you
you aren't worth their time or energy
they'd rather be elsewhere
elsewhere
with others
others
who
are
they
I have others
but I chose you
I have a little black book too
I have it's ashes
because I burned it when I decided to invest in you
when I realized you had maintained an entire portfolio
well, I didn't want my own book back
no,
I wanted red
red water
a bath
a hot bath
some sweet segue
to soothe this shattered heart
a place to peacefully make the transition
away from your deceit
a quick fix
a prayer answered
the ultimate sin forgiven
not only forgiven
rewarded
to depart
arriving in a place of total wisdom and transparency
no reptilian brains here
That is "The Partridge Family "
I Love all this.
First time I seen what y' all been doing
Over here.
I'm all in.
Nothing like a Good Hot Bath .

Love your poem especially.
I like how dark...
and circus-like, waltzy that song is.
Stay for a spell, the water is fine.
I- I- I think I love you.
I- I- I think I love you.

That's pretty horrible as an outcome to a sincere love. Sad and deplorable - Stella
Writing is therapy for some
Writing is therapy for some people, Stella. Perhaps something to consider, also poets speak in metaphors frequently, death and rebirth often are pertaining to transformation. As always, thank you for reading and I'm always interested in what you have to say.
I Write
to create art, occasionally to get something off my mind or organized from the chaos. My work is mostly existential and surrealist, I use metaphors to say it better or more clearly. The meaning is usually a lie anyway,and most poems are seldom autobiography, but often a notebook to chronicle an idea or an image, moocobra. Consider this: Poets are liars. I know, I've been one since 1969 (at 65 it is hard to find truth sometimes).
At 65 years old it's sad,
At 65 years old it's sad, deplorable even, that you would condemn others art, their feelings exposed in a public forum that is specifically for that- a safe place to come and express themselves. You can say what you like but no longer to me. I hadn't mentioned to you that Stella is my dog's name, isn't that funny?
