Poetic-Verses

when it tasted good

..a time ago,
when it tasted good,
to feel the grass underfoot..

to see the Sunshine,
for the first time..

to understand what colors are,

to taste a cigarette once,
and then get hooked,

to drink a beer, with friends..
as only friends should..

a flash in the pan
dust blown in the wind..

seeking the right answers,
from misgiven questions..

puzzled and puzzling still
a heart that beats with no force of will..

you can retrace your steps,
and draw circles in the air..

funny how people stare,
at an ego that needs constant repair..

we can laugh and we can cry
we can rejoice and we can sigh..

and that cigarette once tasted good to me..

now is only a memory..

the smoke rose and reached it's highest point..

oh, how my once fond youth..

looks back now, and laughs at me..

the end
