Long Took a wrong turn Poems

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

but honey 
there's not really two
the child in the mirror
is only

I feel you lingering in my thoughts...
You stitched up my insecure frame of mind 
And stitched up the little pieces of memory...

“TOXIC”

How damaging it is to suffer such a loss,
To be home to so many jagged pieces in my chest,
To unravel healing with the ignorance our love costs,
To suffer the cruelest lesson in Life’s twisted game...

Wally the worm was happy enough,
squirming around in the muddy stuff.
He popped out his head to take a look
and saw he was somewhere near a brook.

I love the night air,
wind blows through my hair,
and everything feels alright.
It's you and me,
with nowhere to be.

My strength I often fake.

In hopes of being loved

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...

I uncovered a subject matter that I would never treasure.
Red open garments clouded my consciousness. 
I regret that I didn't 
discard the...

What a weekend I’ve just had 
There I was, gaily skipping along 
When I got lured down an unknown 
path 
by the sound of my own voice 
I followed, to explore new terrain
Soon got lost...

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

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.

And the thicket of printed syllables,
He took a wrong turn
And found himself...

That dark empty space of my mind;
A ghost in a shell: Annabelle...

A doll: Knowing I was used for the mysteries!
A lamb: with no master; had...

sometimes I wonder was I a tough birth
did I come out feet first
like a blue faced luge runner
banking right then left onto the icy cuff
launching into a starless...

just a man finding his way
