Working my way through college
Better than dish washing
I can get this thing reckoned
into something that is beckoned
I can learn to figure out
What this is all about
Writing poetry
to earn as dish washing
a truth elementary
not senseless wishing
Maybe i can earn
for the career my heart burns
I can move up some ladder
to embrace the former and latter
If this thing works
I am not creature that lurks
Hopefully my poetry gets better
so i earn degree and letter
To get an account rendered
means something is surrendered
to sail into this coast
means embracing the ghost
A lot could have been better
There is no certainty to the letter
Just getting a rhyme produced
Like something Sherlock deduced
I will maybe rise into the sky
Knowing somewhat the reason why
A chance to reach for the stars
in old age still drive cars

Lover from Long Past
Lover from long past, how are you doing now I wonder? Does your long hair still brush the chair when you sit down? Do you still have the same laugh as I remembered from high school? Have you... got married... and have a soulmate and sweet children to put a smile onto your face every hour of the day?
