Aged 3.
I had the world at my feet.

Aged 5.
Curiosity drove me.

Aged 10.
Bursting with life and with passion. Eager to explore what the future held.

Aged 13.
Lost & forgotten so vowed not let other people feel that way.

Aged 15.
Restless and ambitious but missing a part of me.

Aged 18.*
I now have the whole world at my feet. Curiosity is what drives me.
It's the child I've allowed help shape and guide me

Your spirit now rests in harmony,
Since you were called with the angels above,
But your smile will live forever,
And it's only you, I think of.

With wonderful memories,
When you reached out from the bottom of your heart,
To  see everyone together,
A dream you left behind, and sadly unable to start.

But I believe in eternal life,
And some day we will meet again,
To celebrate and rejoice,
And it will never have to end.

Rejoined in a new world known as paradise,
An idyllic place to be ... without any worries or pain,
Bringing happiness and togetherness once again,
In His presence and reign.
An unexpected death, at the age of 25....found unresponsive in car in a garage, due to carbon monoxide.
I stood on a city corner and cried.
I heard a car horn and sighed.
The light turned green at the crosswalk,
but I did no such thing.

This was our city.
Those were our car rides.
I want to blame you and call you names, but I can't.
August' scent is peaceful, just like you were for me.
I made you a God.

The devil in me did that.

Yes, I could write a thousand words
Every comma, colon and exclamation mark in place
Spend a month with a dictionary,  long winded fancy words
Wow, what a work of litary art

But

After the first twenty lines that make no sense
Twenty lines of fancy words and boredom
You would just stop reading

And so

I just keep it easy to read
Simply simple poetry

Ten lines of simplicity
Can speak volumes
Very little in the way of editing
Very little in the way of punctuation
(Cos I aint that good)

Feels like you.

Or a whiskey bottle.

Two things.

I get drunk on too often.
Life is a song
we must all endure
and most times, sing I do
forgetting the words, I improvise
from within this prison, I sing
off key and out of tune, bellowing blues
that only other caged souls
can understand
