(this was the first poem I wrote when I stopped gambling
in 2008)
LAMENT
…………and the seasons changed
yet I hadn’t noticed.
And the summer fruits and flowers bloomed
and flourished in the garden
but I never baked a pie or picked a bouquet
or sensed the fading dreams
or heard the lonesome cry
or futile pleas of family or friends,
and all because I was entombed
buried in a dungeon
alone and desolate.
Acting like an avaricious miser
a masochist
masquerading as a fun-loving
thrill-seeker.
And all the while
withering
fading
dying.
Yes I get this Vera.. I could add and my child has grown and my face wrinkled … But I didn’t notice…
