Dee and Me

The years have so quickly gotten by.

They have stepped in-between you and I

 

The years have slipped quietly away.

You, it seems, have drifted further than they.

 

There is nothing left of what once was,

and I wonder why ?, and this is because

 

there are our two Girls, who are in need

and deserve not, because of our creed.

 

Because of our wrongs and bad deeds,

these may have planted the wrong seeds

 

in the minds of our innocent Daughters,

who, - upon this plane- stumble, falters

 

upon the paths they have chosen to walk.

With me, it seems, they seldom / never talk

 

about what it is they are truly feeling

so that they may let it go – know the healing

 

that comes upon the heals of totally expressing

the secrets, all that they have been repressing.

 

I have, for years now, wondered ?, what is your deal,

what is with you ?, what is this fate ?, in which you seal

 

my destiny – forever it seems – to live,

no matter what – to yon, I did give

 

my all – from you, you have chosen to ignore

and behind us – me – you have closed the door.

 

From you, – it seems – nothing, this forevermore.

I wonder ?, what of our past do you remember.

 

On my Black Bird’s wings, on a Lincoln’s front fender,

above the mighty Grand, on top of mount Tamalpais.

 

Some of, all that was good my dear, but alas,

I fear, it is all gone to dust, lost forever.

 

Remembered ?, relished ?, I believe – never –

for animosity, harbouring to much ill will

drives what reason the reasons that kill

any memories of Hawaii, Florida, California,

 

Ontario, Ohio, Arizona, British Columbia,

all the good, that once was representative

 

of a life style I brought you into - to live.

Live beyond what once was, this I did give.
