Things change...

Yup...

Things change...

Life... Reality... Destiny…

These things are not,

set into stone.

 

Things change…

The table turns…

We draw our cards from the deck…

And a whole new game, shows up.

 

People grow older…

Some dreams fade away…

New dreams gain form…

Things change.

 

The cards are spread, on the table,

We meet new people…

Some vacant lots…

Can be filled, with a new exotic flower.

 

The space some of you left vacant,

Inside my Heart… was filled again.

And this one… I won’t let go!

Could never… let Her go!!!

 

Things change…

Fast or slow…

Nothing is immutable.

New cards are spread.

 

I don’t go much with monologues…

Much rather dialogues…

I don’t go much with ghosts…

Rather a real presence!

 

You write a poem?

Fine… I write a poem!

You make a song?

Fine… I make a song!

 

So what?

 

This damn never ending,

Tennis ball game…

It’s getting a bit tiresome…

Isn’t it!?

 

Can you have just…

A plain conversation with me?

Like regular, normal people?

Yes… in Love… like regular, normal people.

 

You can’t?

Leave me alone!

Chase another!

Find someone REAL!!!

 

Yes… real… real people.

Not just some artist…

That creates songs…

Art and beauty!

 

Real feelings!

Real touch!

Real love!

Real sex!

 

Or at least…

A slight possibility of such…

She is way closer to me…

Than all you others, always distant!

 

Fairy tales… do nothing.

Fairy tales… are for children.

We are grown ups here…

Please… no more fairy tales!!!

 

No more fairy tales… ever!

Reality is real, and…

What’s real is real…

Fairy tales?

 

What a joke… ghosts…

And fairy tales…

Illusions…

Don’t keep one warm in the night!

 

Yes… she is many miles away…

Still more present, and more real…

Than some many others, closer…

Could ever be!!!

 

So… please…

Do yourself a favor…

Live your life…

Find someone new!

 

To give somebody art…

And nothing but it…

Nothing tangible, nothing real…

Not even a dialogue… that’s so cold!

 

To burden strangers with your problems…

To say… my problems, are your problems…

When not even in a damn internet site we’ve met…

Oh please… love me and save me… Cold! So very cold!!!  

 

I’m just not for you…

And now I am truly, in love…

I feel that she is, my twin soul.

Truth or not… time will tell.

 

The table turns…

New cards are spread…

The game changes…

Things change!!!  

 

No one can stop the time…

 

And no one can stop, real LOVE…

My father was a gambler. I did like the card game.
"The table turns…

I loved the above lines. When we test the desk of cards. We can win or we can lose? Outstanding poetry. You made my old mind ponder and think.

Yes old friend, you got it right.
Destiny can be just like a simple card game.
As always an outstanding review.
Thank you so much for sharing your words.
Blessed be!

I enjoyed the poetry and you are welcome my friend.

It's all about life. And it's completely showing the "permanency" of everything in life...

People will come and go in your life. Some will there to teach you something, and some just for fun. But we started thinking they'll there with us forever.

You know who'll never let you go n never leave you, just sit with them n observing them, everything they'll show what they are.
You are too smart to know,, I know.

You're twin soul will be there waiting for you.

:)

[The_Ancient_Rock]

All the cards I spread on the table... for you.

I'm entirely honest...

Yes... I believe she will... ;)

I think it's the first time in my whole life...

That I've met my twin soul...

Blessed be!!!

This is an amazing piece of writing. I can hear the frustration behind your words but also the resolution. Loving from a distance is not nearly enough. Well done!

[The_Ancient_Rock]

Thank you so much...

Yes... frustration indeed. Just letting the past go.

Yes... frustration indeed. Just letting the past go.

I see no prolem in falling in love from a distance...

My last girlfriend we met on the internet... and then we met for real... and made it real.

She was from Norway. I am from Portugal.

Nothing wrong in loving from a distance as long as there is the reality and possibility to reach something real. Many couples, now'a'days love from a distance... and end up, married or something.

No... the thing that really bothers me are all the monologues... like...

She does a song... I listen to it... great!

Then I make a song... she listens to it... great!

And we don't even meet online, or ever have a dialogue... like I can do... with you people here.

It's not the distance... that really bothers me.

It's just all the illusion... of things that were and never will be real!

Now... I've fall in love with a girl... many miles away.

But hey... at least we are talking.

Really talking!

No some singing artistic BS, that's never real.

Nothing but vain words. I can't even reply back properly... and then some seem to want fidelity?

It's crazy... must be crazy people.

Nothing wrong with online dating and loving from a distance... as long it is real... and there is the possibility... of making it real.

If it's just love songs... come on... give me a break!

Way to old to chase ghosts and fairy tales...
I'm 41... not 14... lol

Thank you for your awesome review!

;)

Loving from a distance is possible.

As long it's real and it's with someone real.

I enjoyed reading this piece. I like how every few lines you would put "things change". It reminded me of a chorus to a song.

[The_Ancient_Rock]

Thank you so much...

I've read your poem about music...

So I know you're into it...

Yeah... sometimes I do Rap songs...

And I can switch styles... from ancient to modern...

So some of my poems... might be a little bit like songs... yeah.

Thank you for your amazing review.

I'll see if you have something new... or even old...

Then I'll say my nightly prayers and go to bed...

Blessed be!!!

;)
