Odd Odyssey Poet May 2022
Loaded gun; with the glares of girls shooting
their shot. X marks the spot of where she aimed for
my heart.

It hurts to love, it hurt me plenty in the fall,
I was in the air; floating, waiting for what they say
it means to be in love.

Slowtown, right around the corner of the rush
of my feelings. A crush is a rock you carry on the strength
of wishful thinking, and desire.

Overcrowded in the room of sickly ones,
wickedly sickened by a love sickness. Love sticks to the air,
Untamed by the consequences it must carry.

Yet you only see what you what, but still a love
sick fool is the reason for it being so blind.

Do you still as a youth glance at a potential lover,
or does maturity see a future?

Its virus gate,
So separate and isolate
Lock up, stock up
And rock up for the showdown
In slowtown
Get with the notion
There aint no potion
That’s going to save our skins
From our despoiling sins,
Our double chins
And our plastic filled bins
Better notify your next of kin
No need to curse
It’s covid 19 the virus
The new kid in the hood
You know it aint going to be good
Its starting to escalate
Now they try to shut the gate
Is it too late……
Is it fate?
