Transcendental Sonnet #229:
A Most Ephemeral Creation

Just a delayed suicide that is all
I live in suspended animation
Damaged goods mentally ill poor and small
And a most ephemeral creation

I cannot live without my butterfly
Without my Silke shining in the sky
There is no longer any point to this
Delay in my descent to the abyss
But if perchance somehow we could be free
And if perchance somehow our dream could be

Then I would have no choice but to remain
And my life run its course as it was planned
My consciousness continue to expand
With Silke I could overcome my pain

I love that poem because I thought that it was very sweet. ;D

Thank you so much, Angelicka!

I would love it if you would join our site as a member; it doesn't cost anything and it's very easy to do. In any case I appreciate your reading and participating, whether you elect to join us or not.

Silke and I love each other completely and beautifully. The challenges to the relationship are health problems and living in different countries, but we have overcome every challenge so far, for over a year now, and I am confident that we will continue to overcome any challenges we encounter. I get really depressed when her health gets worrisome or takes a turn for the worse, and when she has surgeries, but I just have to have faith and believe that it will all work out for us. I know in my heart that it will.

Thanks again so much for your kind and encouraging words.
