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
