Long Act the fool Poems

Nobody wants to hear a boring story.


'specially when voices drone, monotone 
like an ancient documentary recording
 
or there’s so much "peace" and "happiness" 
you begin to doubt sincerity 

and the lack of any message 
results...

I want a love
that comes once in a lifetime
filled with sleepless nights

Where My Dreams Have Led
By Roy Merritt

My baby ain’t got no teeth
She ain’t got no toes

Friends came around 
upset and angry 
with their children

And all you really catch are glimpses of life here and there,
Sometimes the picture...

"Simple Man"

I may never be the guy
that's the twinkle in your eye.
Nor that lucky fellow
that turns your legs to jello.

Where The Grass Don't Grow

In worn-torn pages, undecipherable.

Will explain everything you say to me,

Mixed with phlegm spewed from the esophagus,
Spitting in my face...

"Beware falling in love with a poet"

Those who know
They are inaudible for others
When they meet they see themselves in each other

The" old kid " from fear he's not free

A nosegay is just a bunch of flowers 
The 'Gift' is a bunch of special powers
A day is just twenty-four hours
Lemons and limes are a pair of sours

like a quicksand pit
grabbing hold of you
and pulling ever harder
the pendulum of hell
has suddenly swung my way

If poverty were wisdom
I'd be the new Einstein
if bad luck were paid in bucks,

Walk a mile in my shoes
See which path you would chose
And see how you feel

See the world through my eyes
Sob along as a baby cries
And see if there’s any appeal

Slog along the muddy road
