Caught a Glimpse

8/27/16



Just had shrimp and grits
Beside scrambled eggs whipped up with a whisk

Been a long time since
I've had some fish and chips


Went on many different trips
Some of which
Were on ships
And others were above waterfalls and cliffs

Back in the day always shot a swish
And used bats or baseball mitts

I've always been fond of any solar and lunar eclipse
Something I never again want to miss

In the burbs and sticks
I give you my word on this

Who exactly know what lies in every single abyss
And down the rifts

Sites where people worship
Things that still do or no longer exist
In the form of statues and sacred monoliths

Certain tools and items on the fritz
In dire need of replacement or a fix

She made a wish
Then gave me a kiss
With her tongue and lips

So many have said life's a ""
I'm so far from rich
So I put more effort into it
Regardless of if
At times it's hit
And miss
Never going to quit, always using wit

Around the splits and twists
The car starting to drift
As the tires work to find a grip

Been taking risks
From the first past the fifth
Eversince I was six

Haven't yet found my niche
Only caught a glimpse

Bought some new gloves and kicks
And gave my other ones away for free as gifts

One too many cysts
And hardly any zits


Above the wick
The flame flicks
On candlesticks

The path ahead was slick
Had to watch your footing or you could slip


Do you like the left or the right side of the Twix?
Will we ever fully understand the hierogylphs?

Now how many things have you accomplished
And checked off the list?


Under a full moon, she made a wish
That one day, she would find her prince

She found what she was looking for, and was in a state of bliss
Her spirit continuing to lift
Such a change and shift
