Poetry: My painful past

I stand astride your songs,
In pulchritude we join.
You with your mellow prongs,
I, with my open loins.

We earned each accolade.
Our fame is all aflame.
We feasted on the glade.
And wealth we too proclaimed.

Alas, it did not last,
As all would come to pass.
I sit here quite aghast.
You're now under the grass.

I grieve my painful past.
Our days that should have been.
I sigh and say Alas!
We never will be seen.

Oh, Elvis where are you?
I yearn each day for you,
Hopeful that you could play.
My strings again someday!

    by Carol Gioia

    Each family has a legacy
    of tales to unfold.
    We only pass this way one time,
    the stories must be told.

    by J.D. Kay

    It won't go away

    That's not how it works

    It's not that simple

    There is no way to explain

    It comes and goes

    But the fear and pain
