Crossing The Skyline Bridge

Crossing The Skyline Bridge 

***

We're 

Driving 

Across

Skyline 

Bridge

Don't 

Know 

Why 

Your 

Still 

Around 

***

I took 

Our

Love 

For 

Granted 

Know 

I let 

You 

Down 

***

Looking 

In the 

Rear 

View 

Mirror 

Can't 

Recognize 

My face 

***

My words 

A knife 

Cut 

Your 

Hearts

Blood 

Which 

I then 

Did

Taste 

***

My heart 

A Stone 

Bad to 
  
The 

Bone 

I fear 

You'll 

Soon

Leave

Me

Alone 

*** 

Is our 

Love 

Alive?

Please 

don't 

Pretend

Or is it 

The 

End?

*** 

I can 

See

In 

Your

eyes 

You'll 

Be 

Leaving 

Soon 

I can 

Tell

***

Why in 

Relationships

Do we

Play

Stupid 

Games?

Why in the 

Theatre 

Of love 

Is my part 

Always

The same?

***

I'm fed up 

With 

This world 

Today 

I no 

Longer 

Wish to

Stay 

***

I would

Jump off 

This 

Bridge 

But my  
 
Problems 

Wouldn't 

Go 

Away

***

Today 

My

Broken 

Heart 

Bends 

Oh Lord

I went 

Astray 

***

Dear 

Friend 

Please 

Stay

I Fear 

Soon 

I'll be

Passing

Away

*** 

My  

Heart 

Begins 

To break 

I Realize 

My

Apologies 

Arrived 

Too late

***

Looking 

Down 

Begin 

To 

Cry

I Wish

God

Would 

Stike

Me

Down

***

I now 

Drive 

Alone 

Homeless

On

Skyline 

Bridge 

Feeling 

Blue 

***

Looking 

Out to sea 

Realize I

Destroyed

My life

When

I hurt 

You 

***

I then 

Look up 

At the 

Clear 

Blue sky 

For a 

Second 

I feel 

Peace 

***

Then a

Car 

Hits me 

From 

Behind 

It's fate

I spin out

Off the 

Bridges 

Protective 

Gate

***

Falling 

Into the 

Ocean

I see 

Her

Eyes

Cry

Hear

Her 

Voice 

Say

Bye

***

One 

Final

Thought 

Of my 

Friend

Passes

Through 

My 

Head 

***

I never

Told her 

How much

I love her

I cry out

Dear

Lord 

Please 

Tell 

Me

Why?

***

Because 

My

Dear 

Son

Your 

Life

Is 

Done 

Your 

Coming 

Home 

It's 

Time

To

Die

Missing Self

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...

Springs Healing *** I’m down and I’m low You won’t let me know What you’re really feeling I opened up my heart As I did from the start Now I think you’re leaving You say it’s not the end That I am your true friend Yet I know your lying So why don’t you just go Before the winter snow I can taste this dying I don’t want your blood Or the coming flood Of the tears you’re crying Because only in our end Will our hearts mend And wake up in springs healing *** David Penn Arndt 2022 *** Artwork Cynthia Re Robbins

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands 🕊️ Oh in our dreams how we hold each other close I whisper in your ear of all the women in the world It's you I love most. A woman like you I believe it not possible, It could not be, but then I found myself drowning, so joyfully, blissfully within your inner seas I fell upon my knees It's you babe In all in every way I wish to please My love's real baby It's not something That will vanish Disappear Leave Blowing out Space and time Loves pure Holding each other Verse meter rhyme Would you take my hand Lead me to your me Enchanted Promised Land Because then my dear How vast My love For you abides You would fully Completely Understand 🕊️ David Arndt  Sirens Of Titan  Down on the Horizon  Line (c) 2022 🌹 Gustav Klimt
