No more lunches Category: Writing and Poetry Listening to the sound Of the footsteps on the ground The rushing winds of change Came driving down the range All things look different today The sands of time have blown away Thought I'd something more to say No more lunches No more calls No more early morning talks My heart is like wax; it is melted within me You have brought me into the dust of death Pain and sorrow Will diminish on the morrow But for now they are my only friend Many letters I meant to send But the grey blue fields And the early morning mist are near The fertile rows of the poet's prose Will greet me there We'll write sonnets in the sky With broad brush strokes we will fly The seaguls will whisper on the wind What is this manner of existence To be without justice To brave the cold without a loving friend To have eyes to behold, but never wonder I laugh at the jester who stole my breath For he is not the taker of my soul Never yet have I told you how I feel Nor yet held you with the passion of the gods Never will I ever see you again I am gone from you I am nothing and no man A fool and child that is worth believing A gift that is worth never receiving A death that is worth never grieving
