Just wanted to shout hello to you all here in the community and give you a fast verse poem of mine. TP

Tall Fall Down


Say Mister,
Reader could you spare me your time
I am having a tall fall down to lonely town
You know the place, just past 3rd
When I was little, man I heard
From my papa, about the tall fall down
For him, it was hard liqueur,and pushing pills
For mama, it was men,
And me, well…
I got it both ways,
Like Mamma I like them silk sheets, and silkier skin
Like papa, I like the fire waters, and vicodin
But that’s not what’s brought me down
No it weren’t the call girls, nor all them pills
Rum had its moments but it twas not them.
It is the one thing I feared in my youth
And as an adult I forsook
Innocent eyes,
and three innocent words
I love you
Sincerely meant.
