OUR SECRETS

Creighton
Skyline
Alpine Hills
Little League heroics
Music saturation
My childhood
A blur
Nostalgia laced synapse
Disarmed coherence
My life
An open book
For those who care to look
Sweet Pam
Gregory Paul
JJ
Dee Grisson
Such magical moments
“Play some Who… Billy Ray”
Rest in peace Timbo
Relax my sacred friends
Our secrets
Safely locked
Beyond my published grave
Psycho drunken daze
Hormonal machismo
Pops Party Palace
Teenage alter ego
Me
Rebellious acolyte
Human nature student
Rocket armed wordsmith
Hopeless romantic
Still searching for my muse
Times vicious march
Blistering impact
Reality
So brutal
I lick my wounds in silence
Still grooving to that different tune

RIDDLE

My sensitive words
At times
The enemy
Simmering emotions
Penetrating thoughts
Screaming to be free
Ponder eternity
Sad state of soul
Subtle revolution
True essence of a turning point
Fear of letting go
Wanting you to know
Then again
Not really
Sad discovery
Transparency
You already knew
Seeking solace for such loss
Reality
A cruel joke indeed
So this is how it goes
Depressions broken record
I’ve dreamed so long of bliss
Perhaps a mere mirage
Woke up this morning
A new day
Try another way
My poetry
A riddle
As it’s meant to be
Craft your own interpretation
And simply smile……
