Array ( [sid] => 129462 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Left for Surrender [time] => 2006-12-15 22:03:48 [hometext] => My oldest son has left home. I wish he hadn't. Even so, I wish him well in all that he seeks and may his life be as he requires. [bodytext] => Dark, dingy, dying depots grey-filled with vacant blues
Little lost islands borrowing life in lonely dustball burgs
Clutchings of tired handfuls of ratty fortunes in natty bags
Too many worn nothing pockets having had everything

Milling prolongs ceaseless anticipation to discover an end
Laden with vouchers of exhuberence seeking anywhere
From heartsagging, doubtnagging, hopeflagging mysteries
Enveloped stampings give permission to resurrect dreams

Quixotic in shiney pants, wrinkled dress, days of sweat, lines
Leaving nowhere going nowhere paths and pasts to forget
Friendfamily people hug tear-lined emptinesses of goodbye
Estranged windowfaces wave amidst gasbelched fogs of start

Hermetic happiness and decaying light flow on ebon rivers
Ribbons of fantasy swallow those visions of gypsied carvan
Bagpeople and the beautiful alike driven to unmet torment
Those that were here now soundlessly, distantly disappear

Left behind with faded stains and forlorn tugs on the heart
Handwringing does not nor can not assuage the sick hollow
Sadly wrought within the rows of too-soon memories ghosts
Running away, maybe to, where are you now that you're not here

Michael,
Thanks for leading me to this. Through our many conversations, one thing I have learned about you is this....you are a wonderful father to your children. You hear it in your voice and I can feel it in your words. Excellent word usage in here. Well penned, my friend.
Peace, love and hugs,
Laura
