A furtive look
Always
On guard
The price paid for
A life lived
Hard

A furtive look
Always
On guard
Past convictions
His reputation
Marred

A furtive look
Always
On guard
Why was he
From society
Barred?

A furtive look
Always
On guard
From this malaise
He vowed to be
Jarred

One day a smile
Would find
His face

No longer
Trapped
In disgrace

She had arrived
With hope in her
Heart
From her true love
Never to
Part

His true intent
Never quite
Clear
Stealthily, cat-like
Approached from the
Rear

The deed done
He did hurriedly
Flee
Off to continue
His sordid crime
Spree

Marking the spot
A modest
Bunch
All he could muster
In a time
Crunch

Tucked away
Deep
Inside

Where
Humanity
Resides

Emotions, thoughts and
Big dreams
Too

Without them
We’re not me or
You

Tucked away
Deep
Inside

Where we live
And sometimes
Hide

A dreamer
He would always
Be
Nestled
High up in a
Tree

Where his thoughts
They did roam
Free
Nestled
High up in a
Tree

Apart from reality
Unlike you and
Me
Nestled
High up in a
Tree

As time revealed
And all could
See
A dreamer
He would always
Be

Left
By the side
Of
The road

Having
Traveled miles
Untold

Full of
Memories
Worth their weight
In gold
