the ring of truth

We knew too much of life

How to act

How to react

Kick your cunt in

Extraordinary stroke of luck

What the fuck?

See – you looking at me?

Up until then

I was without a friend

Wait and see

I don’t – not trust - see

A dreamy literary type

Faux-adult face

Never been binned

Never been twinned

 

Drugs - whey ho

Away we go

We got a mite – involved

You gave me a fright

Inner growth our obsession

Ego died on wings of depression

Surrounded by thoughts of you

Sacred site of memory

Baffled adolescence rose like the dead

With less of the dread

I have no idea

The reason I’m still here

You grappled some kind of truth

The other side of happiness

An experience too intense

Always in the present tense

Laugh when you can

Boy growing to man

Folie a deux?

Fuck yeh – love you.

Something sad, like a sense of loss floating through this poem.  The folie a deux idea is so intriguing. What becomes normal when you live so closely with another. makes me think of young men looking scary on the outside and sensitive on the inside.

that's very true Philip that's the kind of thing I was trying for.

Perhaps a higher age rating with the language?

Kind of sad, mad and raucous. :)

The way this is written CM makes me read it at a high tempo. It becomes a rap! I don't like raps... but I like this. I think you should read this and put it on youtube!

aye, I'm enough of a tube as it is Jolono. My rapping days are down with the hooodie-woodies

Nice inner feel to this, a glancing brush with memory and story, some edgy energy.

Hi CM

I don't really know what to say about this, but I did read it. It makes me uncomfortable.
