the fall

found this oldie...not sure I ever put it up here.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Fall~

Summer started what felt like
yesterday and a third has
steamrolled
over
me
Leaving me
flat
Reminding me of summer love
and the passion
I haven't tasted in too long

And my ass is
LARGER
than it should be and I
feel like the whole world
knows it bothers me

Everyone sees the
weakness
and dances in the
hole
stepping on me
as I'm fighting to get out

And my center is too soft
so it hurts my heart
and it attacks my 33
years of
building what it takes
to find out
there were cracks
in my foundation

and I have loved too much
and been loved far less
and still, summer's heated breeze
is fragrant enough
to keep me on its scent
tracing...
because my free hand
isn't quite as pretty of a picture

two thirds to go
until
the fall

If you posted this earlier, I couldn't find it. Time is such a vast topic, I like your take on it here.

and I have loved too much
and been loved far less

take it from one
twice your age

I'm pretty sure that even if
you have been loved far less
than you have loved

all your love
was worth it

...

amo et avanti,

Peter, thanks for your feedback. I would have to agree with you. Love is always worth it. Hard to believe this was 11yrs ago.
