LamentA Poem by Mark Hurlin Shelton
For all the brain I never use
The muscles that I fail to flex The bad habits that I strive to lose the the bliss I cannot find in sex For all the hurts when the heart kept score In my life so much hope, I had left for dead the fear wrapped in my shivering core and all the Love that went unsaid For all the world that was not mine oppurtunities that pass me slipped the place was right but not the time many a slip betwixt cup and lip the doors where blessing fails to knock the flowers that only angels smell the passing seconds on the clock that will not wait for us at all For the lands my shoes will never walk the blue expanse, alas, I cannot fly an earthbound angel makes small talk whilst dreaming of the sky for all the plans that went astray the friends who never waited for every dream that could not stay but left me feeling so frustrated.
