IS IT TRUE WHAT I SAYA Poem by DONALD EISSLERtruth or fiction or both
People often ask me Why I write the words I do Did I live out every word Or are most of them untrue . I turn and say to them Please let me explain I'll tell you a little story Don't think that I'm insane . Yes I was on that mountain Looking for God one summers day I just could not find him So I didn't want to stay . Is there tarnished on my armor That only others can decide Do I have a unicorn Well, your already on the ride . Have I ever slayed a dragon Well think I’ve slain a few Isn’t that what Tarnished Knights Are really supposed to do . Did have a sailing ship That was named after me Was it was named Adonis Why don’t you look and see . Did I ever have a love With hair of flaming red Better here not to say For she is now about to wed . Did I love a pretty blonde Who had Texas drawl Did she come from Dallas Or was it Huston after all. . Did I leave my heart No, not on Frisco Bay Was it on the East Coast That I shall never say. . Did I shed some tears When leaving on that plane Did I blame it on the jester Or did I have myself to blame . Then there was the bistro Were to meet my lady fair Go and try and find it Tell me if it’s there. . Have I broke some hearts Have I had it done to me If you read between my lines I am sure that you will see . So you see my friend Some of what I wrote is true And if your reading this Bet your included in there too. © 2012 DONALD EISSLER |
