I was lonely. I was sad
I had lost everything that I ever had
I had nothing but time
No family, house, car or dime
Then you came along
Everything turned so wrong
I forgot that I was ever sad
You made me happy. You made me glad
Like you were an evil witch
You turned my fortunes. Made me rich
Now I just don’t understand
What to do with the cash in hand
Why don’t you just go away?
There’s so much tax that I have to pay
Give me back my time and space
I don’t want to see your face
Is this some devious plot of yours?
To gift me a healthy Swedish horse
All this wealth – this isn’t me
I want to go back to writing poetry

A love relationship with money and wealth can give us a sense of false security. If one partner does not leave the other(s) the necessary space to breathe there is no way to feel happy. It is not the right relationship. Human beings need time for ourselves. If we have one or more partners they need to understand that we need to be alone and to create, do art, write or engage in scientific research. Love the two last lines about the poet’s defense.

Frank, I do take it that you were swamped by earthly wealth – or was it too much attention taking away time for solitude. Hope you found your own happiness again.
I am also puzzled about the “Swedish Horse” ? Being Swedish myself I have never heard this and as far as I can see an English horse and a Swedish look very much the same.

Love only hurts when you flood it with expectations. Let it flow without hopes or demands and it can only surprise and fulfill. Try to manage it and it will turn awry and manage you.

MISTRESS TIME
I’m a stern keeper
You can try to bend me, go behind my back,
But alas, nothing goes unnoticed by me
And despite all your efforts, I only flow straight;
I’m so memorable that you want so bad to become my keeper;
But I’m my own keeper and
The only changing Immortal…
