I was clearing off a few shelves in my Atheneum and found some old sketch books that contained poetry, writing and more. As well as photo albums. I hope to scan the pictures and upload to my photo gallery.
There’s a tune in my head
That comes and goes
Like scarlet foliage
The pendulous love rose
J. MyOwn – 1980?
Take a few pills
For a thrill
Pour yourself a drink
To get out the kinks
What does it matter?
When you are at the top of the ladder
Spin your mind, at the thought of fortune
Just to see where the odds fall
The sound of crisp bills…
Does it make you feel tall?
Where does it take you?
Nowhere at all
You are just you
I can’t be more than me
So give it up for some peace of mind
You’ll like it so much you’d wish it’d be
This way all the time
Take a breath of air, amaze yourself
It’s a wonder how it all goes on
When it comes all undone
But all in all, I can hear the call
It’s in the air, it’s all in care
Won’t you listen to yourself?
J. MyOwn – 1980?
Away, away, I got to get away
Away from where? Away from here
I don’t care. Run away to get away
It really doesn’t matter where you
Go, or who will know now that
You are there, locked away out
Of sight surrounded by you stupid
Fright creeping, creeping in the
Night come the haunts of fright
Shiver and sake it lurks as a snake
Silent moves for the strike
To satisfy it’s mood-less bite
J. MyOwn – 1980?
Walk, walk
The path you choose
Don’t get caught
In the blues..
