An Old Man Like Me

-


Yes I know!
Way, way ahead
Of our time.

Though for some
We might be
Ahead of our time.

Among others,
Screaming, exiting doors
Uncles, Aunts, Papas and Mothers
With arms waving up in the air; what's more,
Never does it occur to them to care.
To care what I might feel to start.
Much more what you do feel in your heart.

All of this fuse and fury
Because an old man as I
They all show how they worry.
In fact, it is I
Who loves you,
My tender dear,
You so many centuries
Younger than I.

Do they not understand?
How much you could learn,
Greater opportunities too.
When I have faded away
In deepest sleep I lay.
You will be independent
    And self-sufficient.
Like you never would
Were you to stay with him,
    the unvirtuous one.

The world is not at it's end.
Just your family's wits.
They only need comprehend
The benefit to you, in small bits.
Then they will see
How you could love an old man
Like me .

I love the way you move. All swank and cool. I'm a dank fool canvas. I'd like to be you. Let's see who, I can be. I love the way you speak. All soft and sexy. Everything 'bout you is neat. I'm just an entity incomplete. I'd like to be you. Let's see who, I can be. Adoptee chameleon Born to be Apparently, a utilitarian personality. Adoptee chameleon. Born to be Nothing much to see, apparently. Nobody said it would be like thees. All my own history. All blood relatives. I'm a severed twig of my family trees. They said the tree caught fire. From which they saved me. What bald liars! They took me on. An adoptee chameleon. Gill or Jillian? No one could tell. All adoptees seem to be a chameleon. How I love your body. Oh how I love your manners. Does it really matter That I want to be like you? Got nothing else to inform me. So let's see, who I am. If I can break free from Being an Adoptee Chameleon Of different colors. With different lovers. To

His Love for Her

Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say? Who was it that carried me on the bier? Well, will you pray for me? Or can't you wait to see another man, if only you can?  Life with you was never,  the kind I wanted.  You called me "friend" That was after you put an end to our coupling. That was after you had my ring  cut off your finger. I can hear you singing after that. You had your own definition for being a swinger. A woman, free and unattached. Since then we've never been intimate. No matter the many times I had to wait. You would love me  Only by cleaning and laundrying for me. Still you'd never give me a bath. We had a life together you never let last. Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say?     "She buried him, with his love for her.      She's not so demur."  _________ copyright ©️ 2023 SDKilmer, LLC All Rights Reserved www SDKi
