long lonely night
 

can’t sleep from all
this bleeding inside
too far from you
never far from mind
but it could be a whole lot worse
could be more than time and tide
keeping me from you
as within my heart you lie
and when tomorrow comes
i’ll be back by your side

a few hell of a years
full of those who’ve died
force a nod and smile
feeling dead inside
but i’ve been through seasons worse
been as far as i could slide
i still picked myself back up
so within these thoughts i’ll cry
til tomorrow comes and
i’ll be back by your side

on a bended knee i’ll ask
are you sure to be my bride
when all i have to give
are past mistakes i’ve set aside
but you could do a whole lot worse
at least this ring is bona fide
hope i hear you answer yes
and let two destinies collide
as tomorrow comes and
you’re back by my side

    1. Ohhh, thank you again, I can’t really thank you enough. I tried the website writerscafe.org, and even after commented on others’ work a lot after 5 months or so no one had commented on a single poem of mine, so y’all are down-right spoiling me.

      I am feeling badly I have yet to return the favour, especially with my friend from another site, M.E., who kindly gave me a selection of his work that he thought I’d like. I threw out my back earlier this month, and got, umm, this is embarrassing to admit, but a little ahead of myself with my usual pain medication, so I’m in withdrawal and in pain, but as my Oma always told me as a teenager if I had a hang-over, “Beschwert euch nicht, wir müssen für unsere Sünden büßen, damit wir lernen, nicht wieder zu sündigen!”, and I’ll leave the translation to you if you are interested, but it’s sort of funny.

      So I WILL read your work, and comment, and on everyone else’s who have generously read and commented on mine (ESPECIALLY my m8, M.E.!) as soon as I get my new prescription filled. But you say it’s okay, you don’t mind reading and commenting on mine, that it isn’t like horse-trading, so I believe that in you, and it isn’t so much like I am building up a debt to pay, though I feel reciprocation is only good manners, I really am looking forward to digging in and reading, as I love reading poetry even more than writing it.

      You’re a great bloke, cheers to ya!
