If Luck Be A Lady

"If Luck Be A Lady" was written on September 14, 2007 and published on MS at 16:03.  This is another poem I wrote in response to all I was feeling over being new in Minneapolis, dealing Noah's rejection, and not knowing how to get rid of those feelings

Time fades away into the mist

A haunting melody beckons

Familiar yet changed

Unswaying in the brutal cyclone

A cacophony of words linger

Melancholy in their aftertaste

Pieces of me scattered about

The four corners of the world

Unfettered yet lost

Longing for the simple touch

So close but so far

An iridescent star I can no longer touch

Emotions hammer me like waves

Crashing furiously into seaside rocks

If luck be a lady then she taunts me with

Wanton abandon throwing me

One obstacle after another

Exhausting me completely
