BOOMERANG MAN!! ( a poem by Stardust, 9-10-10)
Introduction:
just a poem
Don’t waste your tears for me baby,
when I’m gone.
My life has been a crazy fling
of outstretched arms
and kicked off shoes–
a sling-shot, rubber band, boomerang life.
a mix of bitter coffee
and love so sweet it made ME turn away.
The match struck in the wind–
by some miracle– caught–
and the fire was lit.
The fire CAUGHT
but my lips were still torn
from kissing the rose outside your gate…
It was better that sticking my tongue to a frozen post
where your need for me hung like a frozen flag.
A fire so hot raged
until it melted my candy wrapper heart.
A fire burning the candle of life
on both ends
leaving a wax impression
where blood dripped like wax
and hardened
into a red lump.
Don’t waste your tears on me babe when I’m gone
my life has been a sling shot.
A boomerang… A rubber band coming and gone.
I’ve had things, done things, been things–
It’s been a roller coaster ride.
Don’t waste your tears on me babe–
stay with the honesty of your pursuit.
Have truth on your side–
and honesty– that I found so hard to have.
The ONLY thing I taught you was the need
for raw emotion.
I’m a boomerang man
but you wanted me to keep coming back
and coming back
You could have found what I had to give
in so many other places.
You stayed on a path of loyalty
even when you felt the suffering
and knowing how close to the edge of disaster
I always loved to walk.
I have been,
I am,
a boomerang man.
