The Day Everything Changes

 the head feels a little light 

a testament of bleak and blurry thoughts

running havoc, yet running things 

and the strides, leading astray 

adopted its purposeless 

each metre gobbling up remaining active brain cells 

and there was no guilt whatsoever 

because it was a day everything changed forever 

and strange gathered around, 

as though the camp fire the listen to a sage 

of a man well traveled, 

well travelled not beyond the walls of his bedroom 

consuming thoughts of greatness 

of vanities 

of the consuming aura of penury

but not today 

because today everything changes forever 

the beguiling sense of much sought affection 

usurped senses, dreams suddenly stalled 

for she stood and said; lets go 

and the men scampered 

and a chapter began 

a chapter that's still being written
