Broken Fences
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Monday, November 2,2009, @ 12: 50 PM

A rose to you I now shall send
Gone are the days with my best friend
Empty pockets willing no longer to lend
Wasting time I now alone spend

If only time I could suspend
You back in my arms I'd pretend
With you, I'd exhaust every weekend
Affectionate letters now I'd resend

To cherish you more I'd intend
Into the darkest of caverns, I would descend
Captive wires I would unbend
On summits high, I would ascend

Your every need I would contend
Lavish parties we would attend
On you all, I would spend
For you are truly a godsend

Preoccupied I was with having a girlfriend
On you, I rely and came to depend
On this truly you I commend
Released from the nest birds must fend

This voyage now I append
Left to my own qualms I must now tend
A tree in the wind must learn how to bend
Words were spoken never meant to offend

An Oakleaf I now extend
All reservations I now suspend
You, my love, was the perfect blend
For actions taken now, I amend

Insecurities seem to be the trend
Is this what you truly want to defend?
Can fondness time truly transcend?
Broken fences need to now mend
