MIRAGES DON'T DELIVER

What can I say?

What more can I do?

You had me

In best years of my life

While you broke my sails

Leaving me rudderless

Gasping for breath

And I still go on

Giving you also

The not very best years

Of my life

Hoping against hope

You one day will come around

My thinking my thoughts

On ways and means

Of walking this walk of life

No, not hand in hand

Or arm in arm

Or my hand on your shoulder

Me wobbling along

Maybe yes, but even worse

Like mind into mind

With soul onto soul

Then each creases of my skin

Into the coming creases of yours

But utopias are mirages

And mirages don’t deliver.
