your little life




your little life 


words you've written on the page
explain the deeds you did today
descriptions of the life you lead
how you love, how you bleed

verbs and nouns now crowd the lines
pointing to the life's warning signs
of where to go and what to do
you do the things that make you you

phrases phrased reflect your mind
show the inner heart defined
emotions spilled in little pools
joy and tears for friends and fools

adjectives that make their mark
in the light and in the dark
mirror what you wish you had
taking all the good with bad 

ten thousand words may fill your book
with poetic license that you took
to make your little life look big
will any other give a fig?

again

again if i could walk those golden streets again and sing those glad olden songs so sweet again if i could feel those pounding jungle beats again and touch those rumbling thronging beasts again if i could dance those daring double steps again and twirl the girls 'round their swinging hips again if I could swim those clear summer lakes again and float lazily where the cool current takes again if i could sit in playful grade-school seats again and draw where pencil and yellow paper meets again if i could run the asphalt baseball fields again and slap the rubber balls off car windshields again if i could fold daily newspaper sheets again in pre-dawn drowsiness on city streets again if i could gaily play in hot summer rains again and watch the water run into sewer-drains again if i could tackle tough and rumble players again and run through football teams like a laser again if i could frolic in frigid cold and icy snow again and not fear near fro...
