Time stopped. I had no bearing as to who, where, or what I was. All that was in my presence was the high, rolling desert painted orange with that odd sand-mud that he called “Geonosian rock;” his ebbing backpack being pulled from his shoulder, just like the ocean tide; his canteen bottle, lidless, slipping out of the rear pocket and whetting the sand with the boy’s quickly diminishing water supply; and the boy, Davy, being torn helplessly from safety by the cool, malevolent hands of gravity, and into the crevasse. Reaching out desperately for the boy’s damp, warm hands, I grab a hold just in time—to consciousness, as he plummets and I stare wondrously; dumbfounded by my own ineptness in rational thinking. the boy is gone. Davy, my own stepson, my ******* child whom I would do anything for to prove my worth to his mother, Mary, who was the token to happiness with a new family, was ripped from my grasp, and eaten by the New Mexican terrain. So I delved after him.

Evening blood on the bastard's paws
The Steppenwolfs' stepson no stranger to the strange, strangled in thought and a raving wonder, was the custom of his gaze. The specter of Mozart's laughter bellowed loudly, lamping light on every cloud,   the dawn of every day, could be trestled in his smile. Flirting with divine perfection, ceaselessly, ruminating in awe, of his sublime imaginings nesting soundly in his noose

Steppen (An Ode to Steppenwolf)
The second amendment might As well be the sixty-ninth, for all The life-long days it saves by The transparent and glossy shields Adorning blue-skied uniforms. The strike zone is limited to the Mobility-enhanced limbs, out of Reach of the cardiac plateau, in A line guarded by “I heart NYC” Leftover campaign buttons. Crowds question the timeless yet Disintegrating rhetoric, and they Sing along with misspelled threats To sanguine attempts at love and War, while grade schoolers watch. What’s missing from this libretto Is a slogan like “if they go low, we Go high” and the money to borrow It, or the right to use the copyright, As long as it doesn’t get ****** “Now hear this,” bellows the man in The crow’s nest, stepping in front Of his stepson who brandishes a BB gun proudly in his arms, “the Curfew starts at midnight!” Dona nobis pacem, a canon of Faith, is hummed by the last ranks Of veterans in camouflage, hoping To initiate a temporary calm among The bleak and ****** crew. A clown-faced poet attempts to draw A smile, as she calls for an absentee Ballot, a circuitous frontage road Away from destiny, some think, And a short breath of recess. “Take away their weapons,” hollers A very pregnant woman, who goes Into labor, blaming the guns for her Untimely reward, and for a moment, Just minutes, the midwifery begins. All this while a small coterie of men Gathers, silently taking in the show, Unnoticed in their pretense, but Sporting the heritage caps of the NRA, stars and stripes in their lapels. The disingenuous players in this sad Drama are about to fold their tents, To chicken out, to return to tacos And beer, when stillness breaks, So much so that crickets rule. A small boy crosses the street, his Smile contagious, his gait strong As he approaches the men and Says “I am you before now, be Of peace and good cheer. “My commandments have no Amendments, no magic exceptions, No golden calves, no wicked step- Mothers, only a heart and soul, I am the moral of your story.”   © Lewis Bosworth, 2016

A small boy crosses the street, his Smile contagious, his gait strong As he approaches the men and Says “I am you before now, be Of peace and good cheer. “My commandments have no Amendments, no magic exceptions, No golden calves, no wicked step- Mothers, only a heart and soul, I am the moral of your story.” © Lewis Bosworth, 2016

My stepson was doing **** and had red dots on his face. I told him that I don't allow drug users to live at my place. I immediately knew he was doing **** because of the red dots. He lied when he said that he had the measles, I knew he did not. My ex-wife said if her son wasn't welcome in my home, neither was she. She thought that her son's drug use wasn't a big deal and she left me. But now she agrees that it was stupid when her son did **** Last month, he overdosed and it caused his untimely death. What I'm about to say isn't a lie, it is real. Please say no to drugs because drugs ****

The Red Dots On His Face
After their separation, she used to joke that they’d get back together when - and only when - one of them was on their deathbed.  Well, it wasn’t quite a prophecy, but it did land painfully close. Almost fifteen years since they’d last met, he caught a plane, got picked up from the airport by a stepson, long estranged, who brought him to the hospice. Seeing her there, in a terminal tangle of tubes pumping drugs into her veins and oxygen into her riddled lungs, he said: “But she looks exactly the same,” and if that isn’t code for, “Yes, I’m still in love with her,” then I don’t know what is. The next day, he bought her flowers, fretting over floral symbolism and how his bouquet could be interpreted. Their daughter advised, “Just pick something pretty,” so he chose pink roses, stargazer lilies.  Of course she loved them.  They were from him.   “Do you remember,” she asked him, as leaves fell from tall trees outside the window, “when we were the beautiful people?” The flowers outlived her, if you really want to talk about symbolism.

Beautiful People
This lack of emotion, is what has shaped me. It’s made me seem cold, but I’m not what you see. First funeral at thirteen, one of my dads good friends. Stabbed by his stepson, such a horrible end. Next year it got worse, that’s when grandma died. I remember the funeral, and forcing myself not to cry. Then two weeks later, my dads best friends heart quit. I held back the tears, trying hard to control it. Then six months later, they found my grandpa. Loaded gun in his hand, his memories on the wall. I started to crack, but didn’t let it show. I had to be strong, so that no one would know. Then three months later, my uncle died. I tried to control it, but finally broke down and cried. Running away, till my dad caught me by the hand. Then saying I was sorry, when I could barely stand. I didn’t want them to worry, when they were hurting so much. But it finally broke me, my fathers touch. I wept in his arms, and could feel his tears on my cheek. He was trying to comfort, and I was ashamed to be weak. The moment I saw, my sweet uncles face, something broke inside me, that I had kept at bay. I still cannot think, about that without tears. It breaks me every time, even after all of these years. So if I seem distant, then I apologize. Just know that I’m weeping, it’s just on the inside.

Distant
Hey Sir, I'm your new son. I'm so proud to hold her hand she's my backbone. She's what all my chips are stacked on. "Why are you on my steps son.?" Hey Sir, think of me as a stepson, her heart, your trust, my gift, all things I'd never step on. Hey Sir, I'm that fella. I promise to take my time with her, my lights on yella. Strength Umbrella, the days she needs to cry I promise I'll let her. Hey Sir, if you let her make me better I promise whether it's its sunny or stormy weather she'll always be safe for as long as we're together. A blessing is a gift, a gift is a blessing, & a blessing can be made into a gift. She's your greatest blessing & it was gift from him, he gave you his.

Hey Sir
I'm the bottom of the pit I allowed myself to fall into With no rope What's the point of hope Free falling part 2 I just need a beat to sing to I would pray but these days I'm closer to the devil Stepson of satin lost in lust to the next one to give it up Take the shovel and save the world Bury the evil so the good carries on Rain washes the blood away Cleans the scene so it's ready for the next Which we always act surprised by Add another lock on the door Gun in our drawer Turning our home into a jail Never realizing who the inmates are False belief on thinking we're in charge Celebrating victory to soon Check the clock It's lunch time Be ready to surrender when the day resumes These days life is out of our hands Kids shooting for a few dollars Grown men **** to feel tough Women completely flipped Shooting **** just to make sure the trigger works Shell casings litter the ground Right beside needles and dope bags Across the street from where a group of kids play Ten miles from the tracks that once divided this town We're over that now Cause everybody uses now The drug addicted city Not a piece of copper to be found Every time a dealer comes through it's a sell out event Can someone tell anyone we need help A city going under New Orleans minus the water Guess we'll wait till it's to late You know when people finally wake up I wish this one was one I made up

DOPE CITY
My mind is infested with negative thoughts, I have been bested by what I’ve come across, A lying ***** that ******* left me to die, But here you are probably questioning why, A “kid” is dealing with problems such as these, Sadly, I have been taught the birds and the bees, How to love another, so the other loved me, She took me in and definitely had me pleased, Out of the blue, she kicked me to the curb, Cause to her, love is nothing but a verb, It’s a feeling that you do not mess with, Or you get stuck in a mindset like this, Yes, heartbreak is the most painful agony, Next to the death of someone in your family, It’s not her fault though, It was my own hormonal mindset, Now I am below, A healthy level so I’m a threat, To myself and I think I need a break, I do not know how long this pause will take, I explain my feelings in a collection of poetry, Not just heartbreak but for the future I am in no hurry, The two biggest things that cause my silent depression, Things that I would rather not talk about or mention, The future and heartbreak aren’t easy to deal with now, Thanks for enjoying me, I will take my final bow, I have decided to run, Life isn’t fun, Neither is the one, That stole my love, And left this hole, I must raise above, What she stole, I’m not sure how, This is possible, But I vow, I’ll find something plausible… Stepson… Find a gun… Hurts a ton… This isn’t fun… On the run… I’m done…
