We all want it
But we haven't got any
Having it makes you free
Or else you're a slave to society

If you have some
You can go around the world
If you have a lot
The world goes around you

What good are you,
O'penniless pauper
In a society full of money
And devoid of love
How pleasant is to have money heigh **!

Wide open eyes
Poor sedatives make
Smearing the guise
Smudging the fake

How long must
I sit and
Wait out trust
The slow sand

Softly trickling down
Now they close
Slips the crown
But I know

It won't be
For more than
This is me
The calm slam

Shut drawing mind
Ever closer in
Til darkness finds
And sleep wins.
A poem sabotaged by sleep.

There I am,
running wild.
Free
as the
dandelion seeds
dancing in the air,
nestling into the earth
to make
my dreams
grow
true.

We met by chance
We parted by choice

We loved completely
We still let it end

We lived with regret
We tried to reconnect

We failed
It sometimes happens that way....I figure it wasn't meant to be.  So no regrets.
