When I Was Young

Remember that day ..in the parking lot?
Just you and me smoking pot
The  sun was warm, my face was hot
I took off my shirt  ..you  did a shot
A  young tired soul, with a bottle of gin
I was quite young and on a binge
I didn't know how this saga would end
I finally decided to make amends
Then I decided to throw in the towel
I quickly departed ..indeed with a foul
I changed since then
I found a clue.. to happiness without the booze
You were me and I was you
It was us ..just the two
The room is silent, I am alone ..once again
When I was young.. it makes me grin

My Wrath

Running down a starlit path,
trying to escape this earth's bound wrath.
Searching for something bright and new,
something fresh.. maybe you.
I search myself for something true, 
only to find myself often miscued. 
Tell me no secrets, and I will admit my lies,
The truth will be found in all who despise.
