BOOMERANG MAN!! ( a poem by Stardust, 9-10-10)

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.
