Into the wild woods I’ll wander
To find the whimsy I seek.
I’ll jump right out at you!
Unless around you, I sneak.

Through the brambles and tangles
I’ll make my advances,
And try to decipher
Some flat, subtle glances.

When the smell of the season
Seeks to haunt my poor head,
And I know of no reason
To part from my bed.

When the images are stitched,
But somehow grow as a seed,
I’ll embrace the journey,
And get lost in the ****.

The reflections we saw,
Were they yours, ours, or mine?
Were I to unlock your eyes
Would they open up mine?

If I stayed awake forever
Could I feast on the moon?
Were I to aide your endeavour
Would you think it a boon?

When the truth lies beneath sludge
Under a murky, dark pond,
I’ll temper my grudge.
And try to move right along.

When life lights up too little
There’s a treatment I need,
With the ice and the water,
I’ll get lost in the ****.
Born of misspeaking, but a great comfort still.
When you wallow in weakening, it can bolster your will.
Streams I follow
            down memory lane
chasing my own tail
until I go
                           half insane
Trying to stitch a moment
             to my brain
like granny did while darning,  
                                 papa's socks !
Tales I once told
           lost in a slippery *****
having a hard time remembering,    
                               and I can't cope.

Please, pass me a rope.

This limited control
takes it tow
as we survey these paths
of all we know.

Circumstantial accidents
did you catch the subtle hint?

Did your thinking
leave you sinking
in a states of hell?
Smoking and drinking
old habits creeping
around the wishing well

This karmic wheel
is going to hold us fast,
if that’s the way
we’re going to act..

Hello it’s me
Yes that’s right
I am May

I came here
Just after April
Left

She had to
That’s how we make way for each other
I will too, for June

I have days to keep
The Calendar, minds me
But in my mind
I am free

For the days
I have, you can
Do as you like
For as long as you have me

As today I am
In a few days, I won’t be
May you thrive
Be it me, or
May not
That’s how it is
