TonightA Poem by Joseph LaBargeTonight I roll like kerouack A void (eye contact) Seeking silence A void (feeling) Who d we really know? In the end No one is your friend And life is just a paranoid dream Full of cats and women And its nights like these And its nights like these Free loadin’ mess o’tar like me That nothing cheap And nothings cheap But cats and women Hell even love cost 7.50 And whatever it is im feelin’ Im feelin like the sun And I know what knight meant And I know what night means When nothings left of dreams Just insomnia purposefully induced Of fear boredom only knows And my mind is moving fast To fast To fast to write Or bleed Or anything at all But think And even the sun must die And equate her energy And i I must write In spite of daggers In spite of fear In spite of and despite of The late night wanderings Of a soul unfound I write I write these words Immortal And in spite of my scars In spite of the hours and days I wander And bleed I write I write Not for some internal need But because this is what I am This a poet This a fool This a young man dying To slow Spillin’ my guts For love And what that means And from all these things Stem matter But still I write And I write A poet © 2011 Joseph LaBarge |
