Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!

thinkin on down the road


contemplating things to come
& surveying pains gone by
I search for you in each chapter of
my story of...my tale of love


and I just don't know why
no matter how hard I try
it never seems just to be enough
for me to win
to fall on in;
to LOVE


cause I'm thinkin
on down the road
& I can't help it
I can't let go
don't ask me
I'll tell you NO
cause I'm thinkin on
on down the road


meditating the mysteries
of lost fortune & histories
I seek early; too late to find
my comfort time...my peace of mind


and I just can't see how
or when if it isn't now
for me to have a time to laugh;
to love


cause I'm thinkin
on down the road
& I can't help it
I can't let go
don't ask me
I'll tell you NO
cause I'm thinkin on
on down the road


and I just don't know why
no matter how hard I try
it never seems just to be enough
for me to win
to fall on in;
to LOVE
