BRIGHTER DAYS TO COME.Version- (1)-by-Matthew F. Blowers III
“Brightening.”
I’ve sat through
the hardness
of my great loss
in darkness
in the hole that you
left in my soul
all the light of
your sweet love
that was crushed
into stardust
just faded away
and left my life
bestowed.......
With no need
for the sun
It was no longer fun
never shining
down on you
my most, precious one
and the moon
we’d enjoyed
sharing kisses
each night
now just left
me annoyed
lying sleepless
all night
without you
to hold tight......
But I crawled from
the shadows
one inch at a time
abandoning memories
that had made
you my shrine
and though I suffered pain
only I can define
my emotions all battled
until your love was benign
and now, babe I’m doing fine.
My mind’s not deciphering
all the reasons you left
and my whole world
is brightening
no longer bereft,
my hopes are recycling
my dreams are not idling
and my future invites me
to seek girls I’ve not met
So I’ll leave you this hole
that you left in my soul
you can bury the love
that you sacrificed there
and don’t bother
with mourning
there’s no need
for tears pouring
I’ve grown wings
and I’m soaring
far above your cruel
scorning....
But if you shun
enough guys
it will be you
they’re ignoring
darkness comes
without warning
and in the shadows
you’ll cry.....
if you never understand
that temporal love
is just boring
you’ll be alone
without commitment
until the day that you die.
Bye, bye…my former love
Bye bye.
It will not break the bond
that we both stumbled on
it never, ever will be gone
and I will not let you go
your only stepping out
for just a while
to a place I cannot go
this I truly know
and I must tell you so
with my whispered words
although they’ll sound absurd
I have been where you are at
though I never told you that
I’ve experienced near death….
and I have shared its aftermath
It’s something I have seen
back when I was a Marine
I floated right out of my body
and it was painless and serene
as I was looking down at me
and it surprised me rather oddly
that it all went so peacefully
but in a choice
I’m sure was Godly
and with the aid of other men
my soul was flung back
and wow it awed me
because I could breathe again
and though I cannot promise you
I’m sure you’d be a
doubting Thomas
that what happened
to me will occur
when your passing
comes upon us
but it truly will not matter
our friendship
never will be shattered
cause I know there’s
something more beyond
the flesh we wear
we just move on
and I will meet you
when it’s time
for me to bid this
world goodbye
some where above
the clouds so high
at some golden gate
where you will wait
after finding out
I met my fate
and my soul will
fly to you
where out friendship
in a different form
will at long last
be renewed
for now I’ll sit here
as you pass
and you’ll be looking
