This is a story of.
My life ended recently.
Whilst i lost my one love.
So far I've kept conscious, decently.
I'm out of steam.
Do you know what it's like?
Let me know.
I feel useless, empty without her.
I have nowhere else to go.
My heart bursting in a rapture.
A two part piece.
I have only a few rhymes.
My soul is a disease.
Rmembering, imagining, perfect past times.
She is flawless.
Her beauty, immaculate.
My lips to hers, an angel's caress.
False smiles, all I have left.
I miss her touch.
She is in his arms.....
To me she means so much.
She is all my charms.
............. I LOVE YOU!!!!
Can't you see?
To you I could never lie....
Do you LOVE me?

I take a hot long shower
At this odd hour
The sun is long set
As i get soaking wet
The water washes away the dirt
And with it all the hurt
My muscles relax and my brain sighs
In here i sever all ties
The constant sound of water against tiles
So many long miles

The Thrill came slowly like a Boom for
Centuries delayed
Its fitness growing like the Flood
In sumptuous solitude—
The desolations only missed
While Rapture changed its Dress
And stood amazed before the Change
In ravished Holiness—

265

Where Ships of Purple—gently toss—
On Seas of Daffodil—
Fantastic Sailors—mingle—
And then—the Wharf is still!

I went down to the river,
I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,
So I jumped in and sank.

I came up once and hollered!
I came up twice and cried!
If that water hadn't a-been so cold
I might've sunk and died.

     But it was      Cold in that water!      It was cold!

I took the elevator
Sixteen floors above the ground.
I thought about my baby
And thought I would jump down.

I stood there and I hollered!
I stood there and I cried!
If it hadn't a-been so high
I might've jumped and died.

     But it was      High up there!      It was high!

So since I'm still here livin',
I guess I will live on.
I could've died for love--
But for livin' I was born

Though you may hear me holler,
And you may see me cry--
I'll be dogged, sweet baby,
If you gonna see me die.

     Life is fine!      Fine as wine!      Life is fine!
