A Note to All.

poem by: Tom Shore
Written on May 03, 2016

I think I'm going crazy,
It's half one
My vision's hazy.
All this, just from trying to have some fun.

The grounds not so far away.
Lying down there
Inviting me to play,
A game so cruel and one unfair,
Although one we all must learn,
And teach, and share.
For people must know
And learn to show,
Before I lose grip and let my toes,
Gently free me from my abode.

I think I'm crazy,
It's half one
And my vision is far from hazy.
All this, just from having fun.

The grounds right next to me now,
She teased me not her game so foul.
But my mind is free and vision is clear
Let your emotions speak or risk a tear,
Shed from your mothers' eye
As every year she comes and cries.
She waits at that building she thought you loved
But sitting at the top is a shining white dove
Who soars high into flight! And out of sight.
It reminds her of you, how you died that night.
Don't make my mistakes, let yourself shine bright.

poem by Tom Shore

I sat up on my roof last night, The stars were shining so bright. Like the first time your eyes glanced across the room Or the moment I realised, that I, wanted to be your groom. I was always thinking about you, Sitting and wan... Read more
