Always lived a life that’s been Filled with devils, marked by sin Never thought my darker side Be the thing that brings you light

Really want to ask you out ‘Cause I feel a special bout Of the things we dream about Discipline and love devout

I have an idea Of who I’m s’posed to be And that’s the whole reason I’ve never been happy

There’s one thing I’ve never had in my life And I feel I’d regret Not tasting the spice It’s lean, it’s mean

I missed out on Our baby’s clues I didn’t feel Her in your womb But now she’s here

I’m just looking for An open invitation To bathe you in love

Wish I was a shepherd With a flock of sheep Sitting on a hillside Grass beneath my feet Watching over loved ones

Jonathan and Jordan Sitting in a tree M-u-s-s-i-n-g First comes souls Then comes mates

Whether you want To face it or not I’m still your dad Both of our faults I chose the you

I don’t see into future I don’t remember past I only know this present A gift, that too, shall pass

Most poems perused Would probably be better Made into haikus

My daughter said the other day I’m glad my father ran away So we could find relationship Without my mother ruining it

You showed me the switch And all that comes with it Karma’s a bitch

Go ahead Do your thing I’m waiting With open wings

You have physicality And I have my mentality You’ve already lost the fight So give it up and say “Good night…
