Long Retakes Poems

And I can't see a single thing.
I sense these peoples ears perk up as I begin to lie again,
"I'm staying in sick again",
Huhh these lies...

Bribery sins…
.Spurns and prides are taking passes.
Passing balances all are cases and tasks.
Some retakes are warrants put.
Pick the tough ropes not only straws to last.
PINKO god-some will need the disciplines.
Doors to Eden just are door...

Who am I 
To seek to fly
Touching the sky
Left life behind
For peace of mind
Wondering
Blundering
Making my share of mistakes
In my mind living the retakes
Hard I have I tried
Lord knows I have cried
The fairy tales all lied
Worked...

Or with infinite time wait until

Inevitability 
David J Walker

This is how I turned 20 
With plenty of time left to 
Opine its wastings awaiting 
The sun to set
	The weekend to come 
Christmas 
	Birthdays 
		Summer vacations that
Race past the calendars edge...

Easier when you are near yet difficult if far
That's when I stay down like a fallen card
As though I am as stuck as a star.

Do you watch the...

A person’s life is in varying shades of change.
However, at times the plans are not prearranged.
Sometimes our journey seems to have lots of mistakes,

No longer day, but not yet night
Where Sun and darkness can not see
The Silent One come visit me
Where shadows flow like whispered rhymes
Of sorted tales and grueling times

Hey Babe, it's Me here!
The day's on the run!
The remakes
And half takes
Are for the boss
And the bum!

Hey Babe, it's Me here!
The chase is for the bit!
The truck is not 
A train yet 
The heart will...

I got butterflies 
Up and down my stomach 
If you feel the same way show me how bad you want it
Whenever you come around
I try to act cool, be smooth
But I keep on fumbling making...

Smoke it like its your last breath,
Its last, won't get another take,

Feel it in blood through the vein,
Immense pleasure of half burnt flake,

Tumultuous psyche is calm now,
Heart beating at a faster rate,

Glass of wine will...

Happiness is an illusion, a mirage, a delusion
    fostered by a trial separation of truth from reality.
You have to be made to be happy
Or succumb to the happy state.
Few are born happy,...
