About this poem
Well…IF I really did give away the location of King Solomon’s mines did said action negate the promise of the new king ruling on David’s throne in Israel???How does the sun and the moon equate in this equation???Would this allow New Jerusalem to be located in the middle of America near Van Horn, TX???Pure speculation I say…There is no proven facts presented that would support such a theory…I have told my loving family who I am…They don’t believe my claims…I have even told narci that I am the king of the North and she the queen of the South…Well that scripture is water under the bridge…You should have seen her reaction…Well it appears that you will not step forward and reveal that you love me as much as I love you…As IF there is such a thing as lovebin this day and age…I guess that you truly are standing still and you were correct in stating that they were/are nothing more than pretty lies???I will respect your decision to continue to wear your masks…Do you view me as desperate or clingy???Or are you just scared as hell??? Well I have told narci that once I leave that door…I will not look back…I even told my daughter that I will even leave my key on the table and lock the door behind me…Oh well…I told my therapist about our pm in that digi chat chatroom and I even told him about your Romeo was a very nice man etc etc etc…And I even mentioned my poetic comment about the Oh Well…Fill in the blanks…Your words did not go unheard in the air…And it was not that I did not care…I guess that My Father did not have us together in his plan at that moment in time…I could be mistaken in believing that we will ever be together…Maybe it is part of my plan and not My Father’s…Who knows???Maybe all of these things that I believe to be true are nothing more than delusions and I truly am suffering from a serious mental illness…Maybe I should go pick up my Olanzapine tomorrow and return to my comfortably numb state of mind…What do you think???Should I go back to falling asleep or being wide awake???Dang…It appears I have written you another useless book of no true value…How about that for fiction???
