View Profile History	digital poetry Posted : 13 Feb, 2013 01:30 PM This is an older piece that I wrote years ago. Could explain how an old man could end up in that empty house... Unaware of the distance And gambling against the resistance A foolish man once held God�s hand Became much too cozy With a little devil called nosy Trying to steal the fact But got caught in the act Curiosity killed the cat Reaching back for that dependable hope This time he ran out of rope. How could he cope? Is ever there justification for that old mind Even knowing it was a gamble the whole time He had too much faith in his roll as his hot hand went cold His routine was so well groomed that he lost hearing in his 3rd ear, Doomed. The voice that once brought smiles his way Now seems a million miles away In the midst of a wide open shame With no room for escape And no place to create� Helpless, and left to do nothing but to hope for mercy in the midst of the storm� � Post Reply
