It seems that destiny has other plans for me...

I thought that I was through slaying dragons for you
But on the desert bed I stand - My bleeding heart beats in my hand
I thought I would be fine leaving you far behind
But here I am again - the same fool I’ve always been
I know that I should be - chasing after my dreams
But it seems I’m lost in time - lost in the tempest in my mind
Lost in the rhythm of this rhyme...

I thought that I was through writing love songs for you
But here I sit in the dark - scheming schemes to break your heart
I though that I was done - said I’ll take it on the run
But the words I long to write keep me trapped in the night
And I know that I should be - chasing after my dreams
But it seems that destiny - has made other plans for me
To bring me so far from the sea...
...so far from the sea...

This reminds me of how I recently found my daughters father via facebook, so I called to tell him she existed and had passed away...silent on the other end he just walked away as he had done 24 years ago...

He had gotten another girl pregnant while we dated, and told me as he was leaving to go marry her, so I had not the heart to tell him so was I...

Precioso poema, pero te siento un poco perdido, Dash,como vencido a un destino que no es lo que tu buscas... esa maraña de circunstancias que nos traen y nos llevan a merced de las mareas...me he puesto triste, amigo.
Me ha impresionado mucho la historia de Chef E...

Isabel - si, al momento me siento un poco perdido... tratando ha decidir si me quedo o me voy...
