Lost...

i wonder where he went?
i wonder why i killed him?
was he not me?
or was he closer to me than i am?

i never willed him to go
neither did i ask him so
i thought we had an understanding
but i failed him today

i became concerned
i became too involved
i thought before i acted
and acted before i thought

i miss his impulsiveness
his spontaneity
his love for life
his vigour

i swore to find him today
i'll do away my wrongs
after being somebody for a while
i'll be myself again...

Earworms...

Ever felt that some lines or quotes just get stuck in your head refusing to budge... I call them earworms.... lately have found some of Hughes Mearns rhymes that fall in this catagory....

As I was going up the stair

I met a man, who wasn't there

He wasn't there again today

I wish, I wish he'd go away.

Another one....

As I was sitting in my chair,

I knew the bottom wasn't there,

Nor legs nor back, but I just sat,

Ignoring little things like that.
