THE FALL

Its been so long
since we played, As Tears Go By
that April day
He never heard his tribute song
it makes me wonder
its been so long

When I was told
about The Fall
hard and fast
thats all
thats all
looking back
its plain to see
some aren't so strong
some cant retreat
and so they fall
crash and burn
it makes me wonder
when will we learn

The hearts of man
weeps short cliches
Ten thousand years
same April Day
so are you lost
or are you gone
It makes me wonder
its been so long

My poems , like my *****
on a good day
confident and dangerous.
after first impressions
a respectable acceptable ,
so I have been told
Creativity comes confident like a thunderbolt *******  
my mighty sword I stand behind , I swagger as it sways.
like the poems I embrace
first impression holds weight...
and tease ...begging for capture
fluttering just out of reach
like a lurking weightless wolverine
for every stroke of clever ink ironic
I tug timeless   hours      exhausting
a rhythmic trance of the impatient night
flaccid and empty i hold nothing but shame and waste
until a pulse, there is no  flame the inferno can stand behind

**** **** ****
Uncle Sam
up your ***
holding this can

Jesus Christ
took my wife
she left the dog
hammer or knife?

Can't find a match
found a ****
couldn't find my knife
hope dogs like corn

— The End —
