    A POEM A DAY 113

    GROOM

    I will not beg you
    To be a part of me
    So, I'll set you free
    To traverse the wild and discover
    Perhaps many lovers
    Who have the time to groom
    And time to teach you
    A thing or two 
    About love and devotion
    How to share your thoughts and emotions
    Because I don’t have the time
    Nor the inclination
    To groom a boy into a man
    I have made my last donation

    your tank

    I cannot love you
    Into loving me
    No matter how I try
    I can't love you anymore
    Nor can I love you any less
    Seems I have poured out more love
    Than you can bear
    Like a tank
    You are full of my love
    And empty all the same
    It puzzles me
    How this can be
    How can love like manna flow
    And be siphoned so quickly
    Could it be that your tank
    Is really a sieve
    Ne'er the place
    That love could live

    in this lifetime

    If I could live
    A thousand lifetimes
    In each instance
    I'd choose you
    But not even in this one life
    Have you ever chosen me
    Seems you had places to go
    And other things to do
    Though I gave you my heart
    And laid down my soul
    You walked away
    Without looking back
    Unconcerned with my feelings
    Or my dismantled heart
    Or how into my body
    My soul I'd repack
    Not even in this lifetime 
    Have you ever chosen me
    So, in this lifetime
    I'll set me free
    I'll go places
    And do things
    I'll live out my dreams
    I'll spread my wings and fly
           Signed, 
           The Final Goodbye

    SWEET BABY GIRL

    Sweet baby girl
    Who wouldn’t hurt a fly
    Stayed in a relationship
    And as the years went by
    He beat her and he beat her
    Into submission
    Now she has a condition
    From which there is no remission
    She talks to people
    Only she can see
    And has conversations 
    From A to Z
    My sweet baby girl
    Who wouldn’t hurt a fly
    To your former-self
    I say goodbye
    I say hello to
    Your new form of being
    And embrace the world
    Only you will be seeing

    BEHIND THE GLASS

    I was the clown 
    Behind the glass
    I don’t want to sound 
    Brutish or crass
    But those days are over
    You can kiss my ass
    From east to west 
    And west to east
    I will no longer be 
    Just a piece of meat
    To be groped or ogled
    As if on display
    I am not today's catch
    Or this evening's entrée

    CONTENT

    I am closing the door on 
    Hidden truths
    And family lies
    Unrequited loves
    And soul ties
    Yesterday's fears
    And broken hearts
    No more down in the dumps
    I'm making a brand new start
    Better days lie ahead
    With skies clear blue
    I may even make space
    For love anew
    But as for now
    I'm content
    In the silence of solitude
    For which God
    Has so graciously sent

    COME BACK TO ME

    There goes my heart
    Running away with him
    Heart,
    Come back to me
    Heart,
    There are things you can't see
    And things you don’t know
    Or can even comprehend
    He is heartbreak
    And he is deceit
    He'll write you checks
    Without giving receipt
    Heart,
    Come back to me

    LOST TO YOU

    Don’t call me!
    Don’t text me!
    Don’t check to see how I'm doing!
    I am lost to you now
    So, don’t come looking
    There is no amount of searching
    That you could ever do 
    To find me again
    I am as lost to you
    As Livingstone is lost in the heart of Africa

    THE ECHOES

    When woe arrives
    She instantly seeks sanctuary
    In the secret chambers
    Of her soul
    Where the only sounds
    To be heard
    Are the echoes of
    Self-love:
    "You are kind!"
    "You are smart!"
    "You are beautiful!"
    "You are strong!"
    "You are daring!"
    "You are worthy!"
    "Keep being the best you that you can be!"
    "God only made one of you. You are a one-of-a-kind unique!"
