Memory clouds

I'm coming to a crossroads in my real life

When I was young
in another life
 wore a uniform
 had a new wife

Big obligations
Grandiose plans
A wife at my side
life would expand

Then we got orders
We were deployed
stressed to breaking
marriage destroyed

Off came the uniform
promptly divorced
Gina had problems
A matter of course

Bulimic bi-polar
Gorgeous thin hipped
complex and difficult
smart as a whip

I wonder if Gina
would talk to me now
look in my eyes
or stare at the ground

She would hate Lexus
Say she was dumb
rolling her eyes
she would make fun

Gina could be
ugly and cruel
say hurtful things
make you her tool

That isn't Lexus
She's a sweetheart
A loving spirit
playing her part

Hard not to love
a woman like her
It's all just to easy
A thought that occurs

Nothing was easy
In Gina's mad life
One day fantastic
followed by strife

She was incredible
When she was on top
but you always knew
the other boot drop

Lexus is more like
a soft easy fit
Beautiful woman
Not one for s**t

Memories of Gina
Fog up my brain
Was she dramatic
or truly insane

It doesn't matter
Gina's long gone
Lexus is here
Time to move on

Your heart is in the right place. When life leads you in a different direction it's time to move on. You have come to a point in your life where someone is there to love you, enjoy what life has to offer and never turn back. Well done. :)

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

this poem was a pleasure to read...I love the way you described both of these woman- it's obvious they really impacted you, and I just feel like knowing even more about both of them at the moment...

The happy ending made my heart lift a bit as well :)

[Baby Ricochet]

I liked this one. The comparison between the two is evident and nicely executed. The short, quick lines made it very readable, and the rhymes were subtle enough where I wasn't overwhelmed by them. Nice work as always, Ricochet.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you will. It's always a pleasure to hear from you

I haven't been on in a while; the real world calls. Hopefully I can make my presence a bit more known.
