“OPEN ME”

I DON’T KNOW IF YOU’RE READING THIS, BUT I HOPE YOU ARE,

SAT BY THE OCEAN WISHING UPON THE STARS,

HOPEFULLY YOU ARE WELL, BUT MISS ME BY FAR,

MISS ME LIKE I MISS YOU…….LIKE TIME TO A WOUND AND THE HEALING OF A SCAR,

TAKES TIME TO GET OVER WHAT WE HAD THEN CRASHED – TREE MEETS SPEEDING CAR,

BARELY ABLE TO WALK AWAY HAD TO SMASH THE WINDOWS CAUSE WE COULDN’T GET THE DOORS AJAR,

I THINK OF YOU OFTEN, WHICH I KNOW TO YOU MAYBE BIZARRE,

I DON’T SAY IT, DON’T SHOW IT, BUT MY HEART AND SOUL KNOW IT AS DAILY THEY SPAR,

TIME GOES SLOW AS IF IT IS STUCK IN TAR,

OR STUCK IN SOME QUICK SAND DEEP IN THE DESERT OF QATAR,

LEARNING HOW TO PUT THESE WORDS I WRITE TO THE TUNE OF A GUITAR,

LIKE LONG AGO LEARNING MY DREAMS DIED OF BECOMING A SUPERSTAR,

LIVING A LIFE AVERAGE OR ABOVE SUB-PAR,

NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT I THOUGHT OF, BUT SUITABLE BY FAR

MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR AND MANY BLESSINGS COUNTED WITH MORE TO COME….I’M SURE THERE ARE,

THUS FAR,

LIFE HAS BEEN NO CELEBRATIONS WITH CIGARS,

MORE LIKE BURNED SKIN – SOME OF IT BURNED BEYOND RECOGNITION JUST STRAIGHT CHAR,

GOT ME OPEN WRITING ABOUT OTHERS ENCOUNTERS, MY MISTAKES, AND IMPERFECTIONS IN MY MEMOIRS,

I AM NO SAINT, NO FORTUNE TELLER, I AM NOT A CZAR,

MORE LIKE A LAWYER THAT HAS BEEN DISBARRED,

 OR A SOLDIER LOSING HIS RANKING AND SENT HOME TO BE A CIVILIAN NO MEDAL STAR,

OPEN ME FURTHER AND READ BETWEEN THE LINES MUCH MORE TO SHARE – FAR MORE SCARS,

WOULD LIKE TO CREATE A TIME TRAVEL TO ERASE THE IRON VERTICAL  RESTRAINTS I AM TRAPPED IN……BARS, 

WHAT WAS ONCE OURS, 

IS NOW DIVIDED INTO YOURS AND MINE VALUABLE TO EACH OTHER LIKE RENOIR, 

ENJOY THE LETTER I LEFT YOU ENTITLED ‘OPEN ME’ TREAT IT LIKE A FRAGILE GLASS JAR, 

INSIDE YOU WILL FIND NOT ONLY WHAT YOU WERE TO ME, BUT STILL ARE, 

OPEN ME – I LOVE YOU.
