Roller Coaster of Fate

Why does life have to be like a roller coaster?

so many ups and so many downs

not sure how many more I can

take of these lows and highs

the laughter and sighs

I look into your

eyes

sleepy smiling

eyes that cherish me

and cause my heart to glow

until I reach the summit and then

you begin to fade into an empty chair

and then my smile melts into tears

as I am reminded you are gone

you are no longer

there

your silk hair

trailing long behind you

leading me into your garden

where the sight of the roses in bloom

bring light back to my stride

and my happy eyes

grow wide

glide

in the memory

of the aroma of petals

in your air of I love you scent

that is a heavenly ghost of a breath

inhaled to comfort my core

but exhaled at last

too fast you

passed

and with thorn

bleeding hands a bouquet

I numbly climb to your room

straightening as I enter the bedroom

soft light and soothing me

by your side I place

as always the

vase

on table lace

you so prettily adored

but the pillow has no cover

and I can only lay on an empty place

in sinking reminisce of embrace

of the only woman

my lover

over

let this be over

this mad roller coaster

my heart can’t take another dive

I have felt it in my chest

I am ready to rest

to end this ride

leave the gate

and may

fate

find her waiting there for me to arrive
