Best Took A Wrong Turn Poems

you were an infant
i would sing a song i created for you

'there's a baby in my arms
there's a baby in the mirror
but honey 
there's not really two
the child in the mirror
is only 
an image 
of you'

in that same vein i write this

you can't hide inside...

They say I’m crazy, but I can’t forget
how she smiled at me when our eyes first met.
To see her, to hear her - each day I’d pray!
What do they know of true love anyway?

A few times we went out, and we nearly kissed.
But things took...

Closer We Get, The Farther We Look Back

Sad dying embers of yesterday's feast 
interest and feed me not in the least 
For the hearty joys that future shall give 
heartens me to strive forever to live 

Great memories of my family's past 
flow blessedly with...

Mark shot his arrow on Saturday
It never returned, just sped away
	It took a wrong turn –
	turbo afterburn
Maybe it will be back on Friday...

Its so much easier to listen to you speak 
say the words that are turning over and over
inside of me
panick attacks increased anxiety
but your not in my world 
im in my own now
putting my pride aside
drawing but crossing my own lines
my desicion took a wrong...

Dear son,
              I am told I should tell you things not in books
              It is hard for me to...

Let the words I speak 
Be unto you
Let the one I seek
Be only you
And let my heart beat
Beat for you
And let my soul 
Burn for you
Til I'm consumed 
Until I'm consumed
.
Won't you take all of me
Until your image in me 
is all you see 
But...

Said Hank to his pard, "I reckon we took a wrong turn back yonder!
How we ended up in this here gawd awful place I'll ferever ponder."

"Ya shoulda listened to me when we come to that Y in the trail,
But, no, you insisted we go left...

Surely, Sherlock was rooted in the home.
But his ruby slippers
Had worn-out souls
So the jaded detective
Followed Fitzgerald and the lost generation.
But somewhere in between chapters
And the thicket of printed syllables,
He took a wrong turn
And found himself in neverland.
The lost generation 
Morphed into barbaric
Lost boys
And though the...

Staring at the end of the hallway
The stained glass windowed is etched into my mind, woah.
Just another place to remind me
What we had is gone, long gone.

This was the house that got us through those moments
of insecurity and self hate.
You told me you would always...

DRUNKEN OLD Pete... 

Old Pete went out to celebrate new year
Was over the limit from too much beer
Old drunks they never learn
Cos he took a wrong turn
And drove down harbour hill right off the pier. 

He was floundering and kicking his feet 
And didn't see...

A WRONG TURN,
STARTED OFF WITH A MAP,
PERFECT DIRECTIONS,
NO MAJOR INTERCEPTIONS,
THEN ONE DAY I TOOK A WRONG TURN,
MANY MOONS UNTIL YEARS,
ALL THEM FABULOUS CHEERS WENT TO TEARS,
THE WATER AND SODA’S WENT TO BEERS,
THE STARS DISAPPEARED,
THIS I ONE DAY FEARED,
THE LIGHT IN YOUR EYES FADED,
ALL WARMTH IN...

The cars gathered at the neighbors house now,
was not long ago, the sight seem the same.
To say “good-bye” to a young cousin somehow,
forever through time, the heart broken will remain.

The roads they traveled, took them to dead ends,
we should never have to bury our youth.
Cul-de-sac...

Few obstacles, few stops
Just the road and me
The speed limit I decide
Feeling truly free

A one way road
Headed forward
No u-turns allowed 
And to reverse is unheard

Slow down now and then
Captured by the scenery
Maybe fall a hearts prisoner
Perhaps too far deep

A few thumps here and there
A pothole...

I took a wrong turn as I memorized a sonnet and uncovered a limerick.
I uncovered a subject matter that I would never treasure.
Red open garments clouded my consciousness. 
I regret that I didn't 
discard the newspaper that featured fireside poems and wished that I could...
