My Time (Free verse) by J.B. Manning
Complex thoughts
Day by day
Spreading cancers
Through my mind
Like a tumor
Coagulating inside the
Blue green flesh of
My inward being
And threaten to devour me
The omnipresence of
This evil thing
Is frankly fucking
sickening
But still I feel
Stronger
Now
Then ever
And I think this
Thing is fading
Into gray
Like my rotten
Frontal
Lobe
So I count
The days gone by
One or two
At a time
And smile with
A smile so fine
And want for more
Some other time
But for now
The day is mine
Back to poem details
