The folly of a young man Lost opportunities, lost moments I have such a Beautiful Daughter, her name is Gail. As her father, I was not there, miserably I did fail. At ten, I left her in the clutches of anger and hate. This I did, as her father, left her to the hands of fate. A cruel thing I did...

Premium Member Beyond the Realm of Wishes
Beyond the Realm of Wishes In sun-scorched dunes beside a weathered sentinel a glint ensnared his weary gaze. A tarnished lamp / grazed / its secrets unknown / a genie unbound.... a muted haze. Three worldly desires danced like tempting fruit, ambition's flame, …a reckless spree. Yet visions sprouted, with roots of rue, for...

Life
Funny how I went from the energetic Young Man Always eager to be seen and heard To the same energetic Young Man Who now cares less about being seen or heard Life! Life! The entity that turns out not to be what we hoped hoped and dreamed for Funny how we went all the way from waking up to the smell...

Sleep Now Young Man
It's still here That gentle touch That soft kiss on the lips Those soft kisses all over That tender cheek on cheek Finger tips passing softly and lightly over smooth skin I have not forgotten How could I? This is the essence, my essence But it's not needed again And so the young man who was willing to give so much Must sleep now Not die,...

Another Angry Young Man Goes Ignored By His Imaginary Public
I’m angry I’m angry And I don’t know why I’m angry, I’m angry ‘Cause I’m gonna die I’m angry, I’m angry ‘Cause I kissed the veil I’m angry, I’m angry Lost my heart in a sale I’m walkin’ around Beating my head against Everyone else’s wall I don’t even know the right way To be angry after all I’m angry… Let it first be me I’m angry… At society I’m angry… Gonna shatter some...

As a Young Man I Knew Her
We did not get along, she would look over the rim of her glasses, sneer under a frozen smile. I decided to hate her always. Then I dreamed of making love to her, for days, my mind followed her around; a sick dog seeking her diagnosis. I still disliked her, but thought I saw her beneath both our masks. Then she was gone, or...
