My poem
Little Billy
:
Olivita's Wish

one day a little baby girl was born
to my lady without my knowledge
all I wanted was to get back with my ex
and get back to college
however long it takes and
no matter what I have to do
there was no one or nothing I could do
amongst only a few
twelve years and
some tears
whisky dreams and
paper seams
the pain may be unbearable and intermittent.
yet it can't stop the promise of a commitment.
so I went along my way on a sealed ordered mission.
sometimes acting passive almost never aggressive,
usually submissive
unlike nuclear fission and ignition
so peace could reign and all might live
twelve years and
some tears
whiskey dreams and
paper seams.
I wandered with purpose and
often aimlessly
in my heart she would not
lose face or dignity
and then someone else makes
a pass at me,
now no booze
now no fire
I won't lose
my heart's desire
what will I do when I meet
this sweet child?
I'll treat her with fondness and
love mild
my journeys seem to have no
end in sight
but I still love you and them
with all my might
what lies ahead for Olivita?
no one really knows
