Where Do I Go From Here <br /> <br />I look in the mirror and what do I see <br />A handsome man peering back <br />A man of wisdom, or one in a sac? <br /> <br />The mirror holds my raw image. <br />Lines stretched across the glass, <br />Speaking to me of time past. <br /> <br />Beer, rich and dark has left its mark. <br />Cigarettes smoked in many a dirty bar, <br />Tools used to help years mar. <br /> <br />Those years of a drunker stupor <br />Nights alone with a woman on the bed <br />Of years spent in dissolute dread <br /> <br />Eyes stare back, bruised and hurt. <br />Soft voices and hard hands, <br />Added speed to those timeless sands. <br /> <br />Passing life adds years to my age. <br />The boy has left a man behind, <br />There for friends and lovers to find. <br /> <br />Lovers are just one night stands <br />Friends only are as they need <br />Fate has me where I belong indeed <br /> <br />Jim 1985<br /><br />James Casey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/where-do-i-go-from-here-13/
