A First

Hahah! Inspired by TLee and his gang of rockers every Weds and Thurs (and after today no more for a year - boohoo), I've written my first poem/verse of sorts - ever! It's fun!

My One Regret

I’ve traveled beyond the endless seas
Flown with a dozen airlines
Shaved ice off brand new skis
With a ton of air miles they call mine

I’ve sunk into caves under the waves
Found holes to hide in the skies
Stood up for myself eyes ablaze
And cried for a million good byes

Life has been kind
Life has been wise

But I still cannot forget
The smile you left behind
The key to my acquittal
You dared me to find

I’ve walked on moonlit nights
Feathered pages of volumes old
Giggled with Google and other sites
Apologized for the lies told

I’ve sung Canto and popped
Flushed toxins from inside out
But the memories they do not stop
Of a time when we loved out loud

Life has been kind
Life has been wise

But I still cannot forget
The smile you left behind
The key to my acquittal
You dared me to find

Time ticks its usual reminder
Memories fade and turn sepia
But each day the truth grows stronger
I await redemption but for how much longer?

Life has been kind
Life has been wise

But I still cannot forget
The smile you left behind
The key to my acquittal
You dared me to find
