      Tales of the Driftnpoet - Darrell Kellogg

      IT’S ONLY LIFE

      Exotic, erotic, a lover of words

      Something that’s written is bound to be heard

      If not today or tomorrow, then somewhere in time

      Life in itself is much like the rhyme

      The same mistakes repeated anew

      Till locked in your memory, they form a clue

      You know where you’ve been, where you going now?

      You know what you want, but do you know how?

      This is no great tale, no answer to life

      It’s merely a pen and the hand that writes

      The words move from brain to page

      At some point in time you learn to gauge

      Life’s not a comedy or a tragedy though

      It’s hard and it’s easy it stalls and it flows

      A frown, a smile, a serious look

      A walk, a movie, or just a good book

      Release the stress that makes the mind tight

      Just relax and enjoy, it’s only life.

      ROAM

      For everyone’s life

      There is a road

      He travels it long

      He travels it bold.

      Looking for love and sights unseen

      Standing at the crossroads

      Where three convene.

      Temptations attract me

      With ladies and fun

      But so does the darkness

      And life on the run

      Here I stand

      Not knowing which way to roam

      To the right or the left

      Or turn around and go home.

      KNIGHTS

      IN RUSTY ARMOR

      In days of old, when knights were bold

      Their tales were never
