The Poetry of M - 16. Men Are Made Of Broken Boys (Jimmy McVee's Lament)

9P7NXTq.jpg

Men are made of broken boys
Who have gone and lost their toys
Who have gone and taken dear
The things that cause only fear

Here broken boys become hurting men
Who break their hearts again and again
Who once played at death games while alive
But now play at death's game to survive

It is easy to tell man from boy
It's in the eyes, a level of joy
Bright eyes light in a boy unbroken
They fade away in the man forsaken

Sad the lost boyhood is in memories
As is the joy taken in manhood's vaguries
Forgotten child's dreams lost in frightened cares
Found again only when the loved heart repairs

Regarding forthcoming things.

MrM, this is a good poem.. but it is the 3rd stanza in my opinion that is the gem.. it's wonderful. It could stand alone.

Bright Eyes, burning like fire

Bright Eyes, how can you close and fail

How can the light that burned so brightly

Suddenly turn so pale

Bright Eyes

 

^ Not mine, but an inspiration. Thank you for reading my poem. It was a spurt of sentimental existentialist ejaculation. :o

There is a character who is evolving in one of my stories. He is the definition of childhood innocence and joy brought forth into the flesh of a young man in his early twenties. 

 

The story, that will be his own, will chart this evolution from a silly overgrown boy to a vibrant and deeply soulful young man. He is a testament to survival and perseverance. He is also the unexpected anchor that keeps a dear friend from being cast adrift in his own sorrow.

 

His name is Jimmy McVee and his Incredible Life will be a new story coming out as soon as Snowflake is done.
