If Only Once More

 I want to

See you

Touch you

Fold you into my arms

I want to smell you

Feel your breath against my skin

Taste your mind

Touch your heart

I want to

Greet you with smiles and

Tears engendered by your absence

I want to

Speak with you

And hear all your tales of woe

All your fears, hopes dreams

And let mine interlace and weave into them

How I miss the web

Our fingers together make

Reflections of our inward thoughts

I miss you

I want to

See you

If only once more

That time I went to Glastonbury

The Forlorn and Forsook

We are the forlorn and the forsook

Be forewarned

And pause

Look down on us and brace

State your intent and cause

And if you are within or without

The law

This may well predict our

Response and/or any movement

Either for or against

Be forewarned however

And stay your remarks be they

Kind or callous

Filled with good intent or malice

Stay your raised hand also

We have no need of handouts

Nor salutations

But silence as to our local predicament is

Appreciated

And may move you forward

As opposed to wayward

We the forsook and forlorn

Smile savagely

Grin ironically

We demand nothing but

Your undivided attention

Give us your span

Your faux heartfelt elan

So we might yet

Outlast the remainders

Those for and against us

Stay your advance but sit

Shed no tears

For the forlorn and forsook
