The Practical Mister Christopher

The Practical Mister Christopher

On this warm night in July

as the moon drips light

I think about the days to come

and I want to close my eyes and pretend

Β destiny goes in a straight line

everything that's supposed to happen

will happen, right on time

but I ain't 'that boy'

Β I'm too practical a vampire

too cynical

too ego-maniacal

to believe that the days to come

have some scripted pre-ordained outcome;

a road -map,Β written in stone

I know there are a hundred places I could go

with choices commanding every possibility

still, I wish I could believe for a second

in the nonsense of predestination

my life would be easy

Β I could just smile

warm my soul in the comfort of madness

Β Β Β and I'd never have to worry

thanks for commenting Reina, I had something quite different in mind when I began composing this poem, it was going to be about my daughter leaving home and going off to school far away, but I got too emotional and shifted to this one instead, more satire than anything else, glad you enjoyed....cheers

lol, thanks sister C, yes I`m not a fan of predestination, not sure why the poem shifted towards it, the poem I started off writing became too personal, so I changed it to this one...no I don`t want to be a `victim of society` I was looking for a picture for poem and saw Christopher Lee, lol, had to use it so I put in the word vampire, it is very rare thatΒ my mind can focus on one thing at a time when I compose a poem, at times I just have to stop....thanks again...cheersΒ
