Trapped here without you

Trapped here without you

 

 

I sit here lost in this place,

lost between me here and you there.

 

I can have what ever my tastes could imagine,

what ever dream I ever had would be supplied.

 

The music,

drink,

food,

or person,

no matter what it or they would be used for.

 

All of which would be sacrificed for my pleasure.

 

I have all I could ever need,

want,

desire,

or dream of...except one.

 

In here you are gone.

Try as I might the doors will not open.

 

The windows or all barred,

no key could be found.

 

The moon refuses to shine,

through this gilded cages windows.

 

But one day I will escape,

I have been building a tunnel,

a tunnel out past the walls,

past the guards that keep me here.

 

It will not be an escape written in the pages of history,

no poet will write of it.

 

The only one who will know of my freedom,

will be you when we are finally in each others arms,

and freedoms kiss is felt through the ages.

Poignant, Ron, speaks to that longing, and desire for escape. When I read about the tunnel< I kept seeing scenes like the old war movies such as The Great Escape. : )

Thank you Noel.
Lol Funny you should mention about the great escape...I was thinking the same thing when I wrote the part about the tunnel.
I was listening to the Eagles Hotel California when I wrote this one.

[ron]

Ooo I love the Toga check at the door.
OK here's how it will go...
1. I well handle the kegs, hard liquor (JD, Rum, Vodka, Southern Comfort, Canadian Mist...etc.)
1a BBQ (oh wait fire bad idea. Scratch the BBQ). Chips, dip and potato salad.

You handle the
2. Music. (Records a must, CD's, Reel to Reel, cassette, 8 track) ok, ok, ok maybe a few modern songs we could deal with.
3. The hot tub, and pool (blow up pools are very cool...just saying).

[NoelHC]

1a F**k yeah BBQ, I am a hella drunk barbecuer. Minced garlic and coarse salt rubbed prime rib, on the rotisserie, red in the middle, crispy on the outside.
I have vinyl, turntable, and cassette with player, sorry, the 8 tracks are all dead.
Hot tub is on my deck. I have big jugs of extra chlorine for the mandatory sanitizing AFTER

[ron]

OH GOOD LORD. were going to get arrested...you know that Noel :).
OK you handle the BBQ. I tend to want to cook everything in sight.
Um I will be at the door checking togas in. I will let you know if um...we need extra check tickets.
Yes I think chlorine is a must...don't forget the fish net to get anything floating...just saying it happens.
