Back To Troy (pt. 3)
Summer of '88
Construction began on our new home
Desconstruction was well under way for my blown-up heart
I studied the pros and cons and put my thoughts and feelings on the scales of justice
Weighing the love, it justified...
both of our hearts of craze
Sylvia was mine in the very hour
That I first saw her
The beginning of days
...to be spent loving
I lived and breathed for her
I laughed and cried for her
I chased my kiss to her doll-pretty face
Just to be certain....
it was there
Mom and Dad are outside watching the new house being built
While I am watching Sylvia dance in the living room to Faith
The biggest hit of the summer becomes hers
The biggest hit to my heart
Always on repeat, my Helen, forever is Troy
The night falls
Day's events on the ground
Walking upon memories, it seems
Soon we will see them in dreams
Let's go home, I say
Lights go out, music is soft
One More Try is playing
I can't believe, even still
How this beauty is laying
With me
I'm a clown, a harlequin
Not the prince I made out to be
I'm not Paris or prince Charming
Just a fool in love, you see
And she loves me....
she loves me not
She loves me, music, keep playing
Reconstruction now begins
I'm weighing the love on the scale
The pros and cons, sweetly sins....
Ever so light, aloft
Like the song so soft
One more try, I say
Won't let you sail away...
so easily from Troy

Oh, this rounds the trilogy off beautifully! I really do like the ongoing reference to Troy...it really makes this all work. I am going to pin all 3 now so I have them together x
Thank you, BM. I do use a little transcendental meditation. For these three poems, it's almost like I was back there. Especially when I'd hear George Michael songs, like Faith and One More Try. If I made a compilation of all the music we liked, like a soundtrack, it'd be so cool. But then again maybe not, because I'd probably cry like a baby lol. I'm glad you enjoy these, BM. Means a lot to me. Have a great weekend! ❤
