Destiny

Did you seek the all so cool

Did you see the mortal fool

Waited for eternity at the bus stop of life

Old man of destiny, dust became your wife

 

Watch the woman on the train go by

See the decision in her eyes, she sighs

Running away for the final time

But only as far as destiny’s line

 

See the tramp as he stumbles down

To the depths of dirt that lays around

Watch his eyes as he hears the sound

You can’t go lower than destiny’s ground

 

Call the girl who loves so well

Fondle her breasts, the erogenous smell

She will do things you never can tell

But when the woman finds out

Then destiny's hell.

Lisa Ricci January 14, 2023 at 4:00 AM Good Morning Paul. With a title such as destiny I had to turn the page. Please allow me to let your most poetic entry tone and voice stand. There is nothing I could add. Your entry is very much poetry and poetic. It is an entry that must be read out loud with emphasis and emotion. Thank you for sharing. It was an honor turning to your page this morning. Paul Bell January 15, 2023 at 3:01 AM Glad you liked it, Lisa.
