DISTANT
Author: locohoboDistant, the echo’s of my heart
Far flung,upon the seas of life
Oblivioned to strangers hand
Trialed,in turmoiled living strife
Diluted, the fullness of my blood
Strewn seed of careless youth
In isolation distance spans
You my son, in living truth
Consummation of misguided love
In abandonment life begun
Thru primal urge ignorance blossomed
In denial unity unsung
Deprivation of sight and sound
Newborn innocence unbeheld
Blame could not apportion round
Man in doubt, his might is felled
Timeless thoughts of who and where
Aliened fruit of my urge, unloved
Physical sense of longings quenched
Prodigal times of my life unproved
Relieved, at last you have a name
My circle’s round, My life complete
But judge me not by others sound
See My Face before ere we meet

About this poem:
I have struggled to express my thoughts and feelings of a part of my life unfulfilled..Of the dangerous days of youth and ignorance...Of how the careless exuberance of youth can bring about the unfathomable consequences and agonies in innocent life...
Though this work tells me its finished, I still feel there is a whole world of unexpressed feeling I need to include. So it may be amended at some point....
I dedicate this to Tim....
