PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

well, at least its a start

the beginning

a fierce flurry of ideas lay in hope

the hand of time slaps back most

negativity

doubt

failure

fears of the worst

to he who can atone for his action

and sin stands to the head of the line

for most and or first

speak in under tones of suspected insanity

and some will label you briliant

Fitzgerald was one Zelda was another

they had each their melodramatic illness

down pat

caricatures of themselves of their own making

each tall story in for the monetary grab and

up for the taking

until a small, quiet institution in France

took poor Zelda away

and the husband Fitzgerald was left with but a

small daughter, his pen , paper and empty words

to convey

of all his hopes and dreams few could ever truly

guess

all he lived for and wanted from life he got

what he truly wanted which was

'Remarkable Success'

goodbye my lovely though your mystery and

mind have both gone

in my heart you will never long leave me

forgive me for all that I have, even if

unknowingly taken away from you

I wished only for the best for us both

but fell far short in each

opportunities trade

if only it all I could somehow be given the

chance to redo

our unhappy history

I would have rewritten and made..............
