Image: "One Day I'll Fly Away" (here)
(by Hayley Roberts a creative photographer)
never had it good
twisting maze in a hood
the day not rightly blasphemous
but sauntering directed by the nose
blinded not by glaring lights
but just ill-prepared for the sights
what is life not given a chance
perhaps a night to recover a balance
boy's night out with the guys
boisterously inclined and alive
never had it so good
a quieter and sane nightly choice
may even be an alternative to rejoice
cuddled in the arms of a loved one
minus the fun
but certainly a life worth living
to counter madness of the mornings

A balancing act ~ life ~ for sure!
ReplyDeleteThis is a new favorite for me of yours Hank! Life is a bitter sweet journey indeed! So glad to see you today at the Muse!
ReplyDeleteminus the fun! ? The arms of a loved one (as we age) certainly is the wiser choice.
ReplyDeleteI like this Hank, I lived a protected life before I left home and then I joined in with the big city hood stuff for a while. Even married on, for a while.
ReplyDelete..
It's the quieter nightly choice for me, kiddo.....too tired to do anything else. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteVary your diet and vary your activities and you won't go far wrong!
ReplyDeleteYes, Hank, while life in the countryside is settling down for the night, city night life is just beginning. You’ve captured the laddish (male and female) swagger well in this poem. Personally, I prefer a cuddle!
ReplyDeleteCuddling up sure sounds more fun than getting drunk or the like, guess I'm old.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I've had plenty of fun staying in with my husband. ;)
ReplyDeleteThose mornings blaze in this.
