Charlie F. Kane Poems

I suppose it was love at first sight.
The first time I saw you there,
Looking at your body.
God, you were beautiful.
...

Don’t yaow all remember me?
I used ta follow ya back in da day!
Ya know, when ya were jus startin out, like,
Playin those little gigs, like.
...

So why d’ya praise those fools
That thinks themselves superior than thou?

So why d’ya treat ‘em with respect
...

Who am I?
Well,
I'm generous and stubborn,
I am and lover and I am a sinner,
...

I…
I sometimes wish I could fly,
Like all the birds,
Sailing on the sky of pale blue.
...

If I should fall
As once Lucifer fell,
If I should fall from grace
Would you be there to pick me up?
...

You asked, “Why don’t you write me a sonnet? ”
To be honest I’m not very good at rhyme,
Ten syllables sounds like a big struggle,
I wouldn’t stick to fourteen lines in it.
...

I’d kill you if there wasn’t
An umbilical cord wedged between us.
Gods dictate what will happen
If I don’t murder you.
...

Hazy day and lazy nights.
Not much to do, not much to remember.
Head pounding, only one way to stop it.
Another drink is you all need.
...

Why can’t I be like
An ostrich and bury
My head in the sand?
It’d make this week go
...
