~~ WILDWOOD DAZE~~

WILDWOOD DAZE..

As I ride this clanking somewhat rocky bus

we know as New Jersey Transit I ponder

my destination, while I joy ride to sunlit beaches

and do wop dreams that can only be WILDWOOD.

I sit here fighting that draining tired feeling that

always tries to steal my sunshine.

I will NOT allow it, for I am on my way to SANCTUARY.

AH' Sweet sanctuary the smell of the boardwalk , beaches laden 

with jelly fish and the call of the fudgie wugie man waits for me.

The smell of my childhood vacations, nostalgia flows through

my senses as if I were ten again.

I may be inspired to write a brilliant Shakespearian piece on

my way to Cape May County, who really knows.

What I do know is , I want to run my toes through the glistening

sand , have seaweed wash past me as I yell " AH SEAWEED"

Eat funnel cake and Curly fries slurp down clams and play putt putt

ride the biggest coaster they have all while staying a t a two star

motel from 1964.

Where I can bring back my youth as I forget the crime ridden abode

I call my home.

Breath in salt air , jump through a crashing wave as it washes my troubles

away, if only for a few days

As A Foot Note.....I wrote this about 4 years ago on my way to Wildwood NJ....On the 2 hour bus ride...lol. Thank you...for reading :)i

~~ UNCERTAINTY~~

Uncertainty



Everyday in everyway

Words, action, thoughts

Get twisted to fit the play

Honesty, integrity, truth

HONOR

Those words

The meanings are so far

From the lips of today’s

Fellow man

There was a time when

Someone would say

"I give you my word"

They meant it

My mind is encased

With the intentions

Of others

The paths they lead to

Are rarely golden

We must open our hearts

Open our minds

To another time

When men stood

For something

Stood by their words

Said them with conviction

Stuck by their actions

I do not see this in the

Eyes and minds of todays

Man

It breaks my heart

I sure as hell never wanted

To die alone

These days one never knows
