I would love to run after the midnight sun
And visit the fjords, museums, and shops
I would take to the forests on the run
And pick berries and hike the mountain tops
Oslo Norway I saw thru the eyes of a child
And in those five years, I became a Viking
There was skiing, skating, and fishing in the wild
There was cod and cheese-all to my liking
This time I would take pictures of the city
Of the steepled roofs and nude statues
And get me a Norwegian sweater that's so pretty
To wear on my return trip on that fun cruise

the short night
revisits the sheets

To revisit the past is to
Go back and try to fit
Into an old pair of I'll fitted
Shoes that never truly fit well at
All in the first place
We are not able to go back
For a reason even if we
Can't see the reasoning in
The present mindset
Clarity comes in due time
Closure comes in due time
Don't try and figure out the
Things that the present self
Can't comprehend in time it's
Current state of being

Memories of him are still there upon Weymouth Road
his sullen white cross nailed to the old Kauri
symbolize by countless layers of uncaring street wise graffiti,
while burdensome scars revealed by heavy metal grow faint
and the old Rose i placed withered and faded
in the over grown yet still blood stained grass,
a monument still there for the few of us
those that cared those with lives full of guilt
'when you mate ran out of life number nine!'

care
enough
to let go
just for a while
like a moth to a flame, he will return

Breaking concentration,
Losing conscious of this
Undivided world (yea right!!!!!!!)
I see rainbows repetitiously
of the contradictions it's met with, right along
With a pot of gold
