IS IT CLOUDY OR BLUE--updated

IS IT CLOUDY OR BLUE

You said you would love me
forever
That was true
“forever” was just a day
or tw0
for you.
You sighed
I was the only one
the one and only
never
would you make me cry
never
would I be lonely.
that was no lie
just half true
I was only one of few
but I do die every day
for you

There can be more than one Judas in a lifetime, and there are crucifixions of all kinds. The best answer to betrayal is inndiffeence, I say screw that,I want to beat the living bejeee out of the s.o.b. Now THAT would make me feel better than nailing myself to a cross. But beiing a sensible and kind man, I tske out grandma;s book of gypsy curses [ they don't work, I can't find a goddamned newt anywhere, and I'm banned from the old country, Maybe I'll try Romania]

Mr Mystical, witchcraft weaving in your days
flailing laggards, rotten seducers of your ways;
newts and deamons must be found
in the Everglades, underground,
jet black cormorants can do the task,
just throw them a fish and ask,
I wonder who she was, don't you.(Neopoets)

Sad - fun.

I know who
don't you
doubt a bit
I was twrnty and two
and still remember it
I was young
and handsome then
foolish too.
My heart was open
and many times broken
for there was little I knew
Gone are the years
Gone are the tears.
Done the belovèd
Done am I living
with the dead....

"I was young and handsome then..." Um,I'm still a "killer" at 70, but too pooped to pop, The cruel irony, Anni, is that the more this illness progresses, the better looking and the more charming I become. BIG GRIN.

There must be a painting of you somewhere that is ageing the hours away lol. We still have many Newts in the ponds here, so I can carry out spells of the Druid kind (Being from that part of the country)
But let your memory be cleansed of all the things that did you wrong just remember the good things there are and was then life will be a better place to be,
Yours Ian.T

I wish you all the best in your fight with life, it is a massive challenge and now at 70 you have reached that golden 3 score and 10.
Maybe soon they will change our years on Earth to a lot more but not on my watch.
You know it is hard to keep that feeling away you are not on your own, just give me indigestion and there is a turmoil in the mind before the tablet works or you realise what it is that is causing the chest pains lol.
We are both now 70 and fear being ill, it is not the fear of dying, it is the fear of living we have, and the illnesses that can now, within a few years take us to that other place, our minds play with us each day so we just have to get stronger each day in our minds as our systems fail one by one.
Soylent Green was a good film bar the people were reprocessed as food if it had been fertilizer it would have been more acceptable lol
You take care Joe and know that we think of you, remember to keep your mind strong if possible, if not give everyone shit, Yours Ian.T
