Forever Yours

Forever Yours

A Poem by Einstein Noodle

Agony - Album on Imgur

(album on Ingur)
Forever Yours
thunder shakes loose the lightning 
rips apart roiling dark clouds and 

the rain pours down

the sagacity of her apophony astounds the most astute
her leisure hours spent to weary dowers 
they fall leaden at her feet
she skewers them on pikes

"Can't we get back the way it was? ... "  she said.

i couldn't speak

i was dumbed numb

it was the words
it was the presentation
it was all of that on steroid replay

hitting the mark ... constricting chest to throat

obstructing

                             words                                worlds

haven't the heart to toss it
perhaps just sell my lot and stock 

leave.

her breast wears  hard rocks
she filed away her pounding nails
while flailing at her skillet
drawing them out red hot and ready

her breath came rasped and rattled
and cursed her conscience battled

my defense badly mounted
cut short and pronounced
me
                                                                     helplessly guilty
helplessly guilty

You gave me everything then
You gave me no ...................thing
                                                                     the no thing was more
and you wanted me to follow you  .................. a real something 
some                            thing
tuning my ear with your bending strings and 
cry                                     cry                              cry
wanting money, your fame how you
try                                      try                              try
what about good bye?

These lines speak to me of how people can find themselves on different pathways within a relationship. It sort of creeps up over you and then you realise that the person you thought you were perfectly in tune with has already left the building in spirit if not in body. It is a painful experience and I can feel the conflict here. You are worlds apart. Their values are not yours. When it gets to that stage, goodbye is the best solution. You can not live a lie. I felt the storm Mr E. It was raging, it was torture.

I see Paul's point of view....
but for me.....this is personal.
My first ex....once gave me everything...she was beautiful but didn't know it. Was so giving and loving and my best friend...then something changed and she became as the person in this poem. Loved the attention for her looks, spoke of money...initially i was working a job to help her get her degree, she was working as well. Seemed a good plan....that I would go back to school after she was done. But then her tune changed...she just wanted us to make a bunch of money...she saw those dollars in her future..
ended up marrying a doctor, lived in a town north of here. I heard about her through someone who ran the newspaper up there...was said that the town where they lived didn't like how he took advantage with his fees, and that she was so uppity....i still find it hard to understand where that person i first knew went.
Maybe she is in your poem, yes, i am sure she is.
great stuff, E.

This is right up my street, grim reality as time goes on.
This could be a famous actress trying to relive past performances, but no surgeon or drug is going to do it.
Sometimes the stark reality stares you right in the face, but no one in their right mind is interested in reality, not when dreams remind you of how it used to be.

how true, Paul ... sometimes reality is ...well ... too real to behold ... we run ... hide and life .. read more
The rasping and the gasping ...
screaming through the lungs of humanity.
A cup of Tea with honey as we live another
Round of wondering how and why yesterday
was only a dream and today is reality . ..
Be prepared.. not impaired.
