BROKEN HEARTS AND THINGS WE’LL NEVER KNOW

Oh, to write a poem or musing
That is universal in its appeal
Not an easy thing to do
There is no one, like
The one who won the war
Because there is no one who
Could, being solo, accomplish this
 
I have talked to girls from Denver
Also known as the Denver Girls and
They say without reservation that
The only situation where one is a winner is
A single bird in a cage, well fed and watered
And a real being does not prefer a cage
It’s not the only game in town
 
I could write about events in Berlin or
Anywhere for that matter and make
Them interesting to read even if
In their own right they are boring
I had the real deal once, but
The real deal died and I was left alone
Broken hearts are not fun
 
There is always more to the story, but
You find a new category and I call it
Broken hearts and things we’ll never know
I found a new love and things went well
The excitement of newness prevailed until
The time came for scripted love and this
Did not go well with me because I desire spontaneity
 
I suggested most kindly to my lovely lady
Just be the woman you are.  You are intelligent,
Accomplished and have nothing to prove
She needed recognition and continued to overdo
Her fragile body could not handle this excess
Which led to sickness and another broken heart
A sacred vow broken and what happened in Vegas left
