Lost Freedom
Flapping growing tired
Freedom is invisible
Sits so forlorn,Caged
Freedom is invisible
Sits so forlorn,Caged

About this poem:
Once free,now lost.
life
The sun rises and the sun sets
and the darkness comes to stay
with stars appearing and brightly shining light from faraway
we are all here in time , but it seems only for a day
what we may find or keep can never fad away
things may come and things may go
when and where we will never know
it is all part of life's great plan and all we can do is go along with the flow.
and the darkness comes to stay

it is all part of life's great plan and all we can do is go along with the flow.

About this poem:
is life
Couldn't Esape The Past Couldn't Ride The Future
Couldn't escape the past
Couldn't ride the future and no such thing as a hitchhiker
Without traction you will never know satisfaction
Who writes a story when there will be only one page
The short continuous circle path of poverty
Becomes a dumb down situation
No matter what direction you turn a vehicle
With bald tires you won't get very far
Without traction you'll never meet satisfaction
Couldn't escape the past couldn't ride the future
The summer sun is hotter than usual today
Is it possible the hum of the ac could cause dementia
Couldn't ride the future and no such thing as a hitchhiker
Without traction you will never know satisfaction
Who writes a story when there will be only one page
The short continuous circle path of poverty
Becomes a dumb down situation
No matter what direction you turn a vehicle
With bald tires you won't get very far
Without traction you'll never meet satisfaction
Couldn't escape the past couldn't ride the future
The summer sun is hotter than usual today
Is it possible the hum of the ac could cause dementia

In Prospect of Venus
He rose early
before the sun
to hoe and toil
under true stars
a simple man
beneath the vines
of his grey yard
he chewed straw
and turned his
thoughts to
women
children
delights
he had
not known
in all these days
that had passed
with fruits
and flowers
known only
to his birds
his companions
was he yet
not worthy
of Venus
he mused
for I shall sing
the song
of the grave
before Venus rises
unto me
he sang
yes I shall sing
the song
of the grave
before Venus rises
unto me
before the sun
to hoe and toil
under true stars
a simple man
beneath the vines
of his grey yard
he chewed straw
and turned his
thoughts to
women
children
delights
he had
not known
in all these days
that had passed
with fruits
and flowers
known only
to his birds
his companions
was he yet
not worthy
of Venus
he mused
for I shall sing
the song
of the grave
before Venus rises
unto me
he sang
yes I shall sing
the song
of the grave
before Venus rises
unto me

About this poem:
musing on the solitary manWhere People Are Lost And Never Found
It was a long way to nowhere
As I traveled on the trail of years
It wasn't much of a road map
That got me here
And now my conversations are the ones I write down
Maybe if I had been an Indian I could be on a reservation
But as it is I'm nowhere and that is where
People are lost and never found
Being here is forever waving goodbye
I could let my imagination lift me to a cloud up high
And sad it would be waking up to see I'm down
To nowhere and that's where people are lost and never found
As I traveled on the trail of years
It wasn't much of a road map
That got me here
And now my conversations are the ones I write down
Maybe if I had been an Indian I could be on a reservation
But as it is I'm nowhere and that is where
People are lost and never found
Being here is forever waving goodbye
I could let my imagination lift me to a cloud up high
And sad it would be waking up to see I'm down
To nowhere and that's where people are lost and never found

Post CommentWhere
Where shall I go
How will I know
Where is the place I'm alive
Where do I roam
Where is my home
When will I arrive
Where are my friends
Where does the music blend
Where are the tears that let me know I can cry
Where is destiny without a sign
Where is hope without someone who is kind
And who knows where am I
How will I know
Where is the place I'm alive
Where do I roam
Where is my home
When will I arrive
Where are my friends
Where does the music blend
Where are the tears that let me know I can cry
Where is destiny without a sign
Where is hope without someone who is kind
And who knows where am I

Post CommentI Don't Know If I have A Friend
I traveled all the way to town just to find alone
It was a sad experience but I should have known
Lonely is everywhere I go it's everywhere I've been
Tell me something I don't know I don't know if I have a friend
You can be sad when you are young but when get old
The other word is very and there's not much that needs to be told
My words are simple to comprehend
I don't know if I have a friend
I write something for me to read
I know the lines are just a few
Perhaps it brings me close to what I need
I need to give this paper to you
It was a sad experience but I should have known
Lonely is everywhere I go it's everywhere I've been
Tell me something I don't know I don't know if I have a friend
You can be sad when you are young but when get old
The other word is very and there's not much that needs to be told
My words are simple to comprehend
I don't know if I have a friend
I write something for me to read
I know the lines are just a few
Perhaps it brings me close to what I need
I need to give this paper to you

Post CommentThe Situation
I don't know the situation I don't think I can
I don't know the situation
Yes it's way out of my hands
She walks around with a ring on her finger so she never thinks about me
Why should I let these feelings of her linger
She has become a woman of high society
I don't know the situation but her mansion sits upon a hill
And when I walk by her place of worship I hear the congregation
Singing songs about God's will
I pack my bags to leave and thinking ahead is not a plan
I don't know the situation
But the situation is more than I can stand
I don't know the situation
Yes it's way out of my hands
She walks around with a ring on her finger so she never thinks about me
Why should I let these feelings of her linger
She has become a woman of high society
I don't know the situation but her mansion sits upon a hill
And when I walk by her place of worship I hear the congregation
Singing songs about God's will
I pack my bags to leave and thinking ahead is not a plan
I don't know the situation
But the situation is more than I can stand

On the other side of autumn
What makes me feel so strange
On the other side of autumn?
Clouds of gray fur
Roll in the sky.
Life passes drop by drop.
You drifted into my life
Like a whirling leaf
From a branch.
As if someone lit a match
In the dark space.
The whole world fell apart
When you left
On the other side of autumn.
In your life I was just a page.
Everything is so temporary
And so strange
On the other side of autumn
On the other side of autumn?
Clouds of gray fur
Roll in the sky.
Life passes drop by drop.
You drifted into my life
Like a whirling leaf
From a branch.
As if someone lit a match
In the dark space.
The whole world fell apart
When you left
On the other side of autumn.
In your life I was just a page.
Everything is so temporary
And so strange
On the other side of autumn

About this poem:
I just don t like Autumn ...getting moodyThis Side Of Nowhere
In a little town this side of nowhere
And across the county line there still aint no hope
For happiness with someone to marry
And I didn't even mail the last letter I wrote
Around here it still looks like nineteen sixty
And pot holes go on for miles
No one here is whistling Dixie
No one here knows how to wear a smile
In a little town this side of nowhere
Through the years the damage was done and no way to mend
And here life is wasting away
And no one wants to call that a sin
And across the county line there still aint no hope
For happiness with someone to marry
And I didn't even mail the last letter I wrote
Around here it still looks like nineteen sixty
And pot holes go on for miles
No one here is whistling Dixie
No one here knows how to wear a smile
In a little town this side of nowhere
Through the years the damage was done and no way to mend
And here life is wasting away
And no one wants to call that a sin
