Being A Child Again

-
Dreamy days covered in childish fog
Even nightmares were awesome
How was I to know life is gruesome?
I wouldn't have craved to grow in such a gog
Should I run backwards down this tunnel of time
I'll climb trees and bruise my knees
Play with the hive in grandma's farm and get stung by bees
Loath a little more in ignorance and excuse from crime
If I could be a child again
I'll insist for a picture with you dad
Watch and smile how my misdemeanor drives you mad
Being a child again is a leave of absence from anger, hurt, hate and pain.
If i could be the young me again
I'll be a child fully
There will come a time when childhood's sun will wane
Then the rise of adulthood's cruelty.

THE MELANCHOLIC NURSE

Looks lie too, this I've found true Scary clouds gather round  her look Her ghostly gown shone, her face grim Grim and stiff, needing a smile grease. The clouds grew the closer she drew Her eyes stooped, beheld me still blue Flicked her needle, I saw smile brew Like a hornet ready to sting Looks lie too. The sun's gone rounds, still, nothing new My nurse's frown had my heart to chew There seemed a blue moon about this She smiled handing my discharge bill Her face wore this glow, she turned new Looks lie too
