I find myself Sometimes (But only then) Thinking about it (what could it be?) Too. . . What will happen now? I have smiles some days and on bad days I smile the other way around and Sundays are bad days Because I can't remember What happened for the last Seven days; well you see what happened was, I left home for the west coast and found myself a different home and surrounded myself with a little bit of friends in that little bit of shack. ***Beer, fish, grass and waves, **** girls, lights*** and strange madness erupted into the canal streets of that little fishing town; It was beautiful. Like a dream out of a movie. Made straight out of Hollywood in the 1950's. For a split-second I thought about going back home I think I did for a day or two in my mind. . . and then suddenly I woke up! This time on the easy-east coast In a fluster of sandy beach hippies - my family and friends scattered out on top of the yard Days and days and days and days of Drugs and rice and sand, non-stop funk, horseshoes, beer, waves, more grass and more beer, sunsets and sunrises, and strange women with multicolored eyes and all of their weird ways. It all seemed like a wisp of smoke now . . . But I'd like to say that I built a ship that will sail eternally Through these stormy seas of our fragile lives. We as this corroded house will forever withstand the winds Of nature and time In itself - in ourselves. We are one.

After the Storm
I find myself Sometimes (But only then) Thinking about it (what could it be?) Too. . . What will happen now? I have smiles some days and on bad days I smile the other way around and Sundays are bad days Because I can't remember What happened for the last Seven days; well you see what happened was, I left home for the west coast and found myself a different home and surrounded myself with a little bit of friends in that little bit of shack. ***Beer, fish, grass and waves, **** girls, lights*** and strange madness erupted into the canal streets of that little fishing town; It was beautiful. Like a dream out of a movie. Made straight out of Hollywood in the 1950's. For a split-second I thought about going back home I think I did for a day or two in my mind. . . and then suddenly I woke up! This time on the easy-east coast In a fluster of sandy beach hippies - my family and friends scattered out on top of the yard Days and days and days and days of Drugs and rice and sand, non-stop funk, horseshoes, beer, waves, more grass and more beer, sunsets and sunrises, and strange women with multicolored eyes and all of their weird ways.

This one is more of me just collecting my thoughts than a poem. Pay no mind, move along. . . slowly. <3 A
