Days ago

A portrait of life you see
turmoil ridden, lost at sea
German wine and French Béarnaise
Jumping Frogs and twisted days

I tumbled down a stair or two
while looking back at you

Intoxicated and besot
I wobbled round and drunk allot
those twisted tortured days of haze

A portrait of a life you see
not always what you want it to be
German wine and French Béarnaise
Jumping Frogs and twisted days

Many days ago.

  4. Ah, good times. Besotted and in love. If any reader hasn't been there, he/she has missed some of the best times in life. You capture it vividly. Thanks, Gay @beachanny
