It Only
it only takes my best lines
to show you my worst
i casually ignored the rest signs
and unthreaded a messy curse
if only i had listened then
the difference i’d know now
a relatively alternate when
some day some way some how
it only took a quick look
from where everything was up
no tempting in the emptying
of another spilt and spoilt cup
if only plays the memory tease
digging on the randomly obscure
a rapid fire synapse breeze
a flood of past times to endure
it only drips at quiet times
a soft pattering behind my eyes
simple slips from bright times
and inner dialogued sighs

The AI Attack on Humanity
This dream haunted me for years. It seemed like I couldn't go not even one night without this same dream. Sometimes, something new would happen but the little boy was always with me. I still cannot figure out who he was. Perhaps he was my son in a past life?

The journey of life. Some of us, don’t know how to take the shortcut but the hard roads of life.
Wow this was something else - great read!
We just cannot stop wondering. We have no control over it. Loved your poem!
"If only" is the haunting bugger that keeps us up at night. Great poem.
