The Lost Sense of Bewilderment

I wonder if life would have been the same
If I had but a different name
As common as the monsoon rain
Somewhere between John and Jane

I wonder who would have called me close
Gifted whiskey or a blood red rose
Shared laughter with a list of woes
And left me where the west wind blows

I wonder if I would have been happy more
Being a seashell on a shallow shore
Drunk with madness like never before
Following the echo of my silent roar

I wonder if I would have lived long
Sang a chorus in some choir song
Before in life it all went wrong
For now I am but not where I belong…

    A dilemma and a constant in our life to ask ourselves if with this or that our life would have been better.

    A pleasure to read you.

    Fraternal greetings.

        I enjoyed your work today. Like a Bukowski poetry. You tell the truth. You are welcome my friend.
