Below is a poem I wrote awhile back. For some reason, this has always been a special one to me. My word play was in full force here. It's sad to think it's been nearly four years since I last wrote a poem. I think I need to change that. I think... err... I *will* write a poem in the very near future. Perhaps, I should set a reasonable date. One month from now. August 5th, 2017. <p> <center>  </center> </p> <p> </p> <p> <center> # Turnaround <p> It didn't turn out right Came from left field And don't turn this on me Well I guess it is my turn I'll take this one Take two But where do I take it? I know I'll make it into something new Is that what you'd do? I never know what's in your head It's always silence when lying in your bed Would you lie to me in bed? I'll keep quiet now My words felt so empty is what you said I'm sorry you had to feel the way you felt Maybe it just needed to be spelled out for me But now I see But it wasn't all me Someone had to pierce this dead air Nothing was moving Nothing in motion Could I move you? Could you show some emotion? This air that we share is bleak How could anyone breathe? This will take some time And compromise from both sides I'll take the first step Since we deserve a second chance So I stare at your distant eyes And with mine Ask them to dance. </p> </center> </p>
