One Too Many

Folder: 
A Day In The Life

He sits there lost in smoke

puffed heart no words to confess

past sins muffled deep beyond bruise

he slips sips of coffee

too darkly brewed

just wet on the whistle

another day for the fool.



Somewhere he lost touch

lost his desire to be

tossed aside the art of play

dreams more in the day

no emotion just the snarl

clouds of billowing smoke rise

just another breath to take.



Damn the memories left him

rocked as precious moments fly

doomed to waste away as nothing

still another puff subsides

not the soft he once imagined

life is harsh and then it's not

waiting now for death to come.
