I shall one day.

I shall one day.

A Poem by Huw

I made the decision 

the choice was made

that I would make you

the happiest woman 

on earth.

I soon realised 

you were by nature

woe-man and there 

was no-one on earth

who could change that. 

In misery and despondency

you layered your nest

even despising your house

the house you built

Buying and disposing

of men you called friends.

Filling your house

with wine drinkers

who would encourage

your silly schemes,

pass me the bottle,

more wine!

In truth you hated

the mess they left behind

just as I hated the stench

of stale wine, cheap wine.

Having failed in human

relationships you tried 

bonding with animals

but you couldn't bond

with the fox who tore

your dreams apart.

The ring is still

in the window

the mud is still

on the boots.

You said that 

you are dying

in so doing

you increase your 

personal woe. 

News flash!

we are all dying.

Do you think 

you'll be missed?

Your pets will 

have someone else

to feed them

they'll forget you

as I shall one day.

I've been commenting on someone's drawings for a couple of months and she asked if I was a published poet. It made me laugh because I'd left school at 13 years old and never completed formal education.. more..
