Park Life

Park Life

by

Peter Andrew Gunnis

I look out my door at a world within a world

A caravan park is such a curious way of life

Young couples starting their lives with anticipation

Elderly couples waiting for the end with trepidation

The lonely with their problems as varied as their looks

Police patrols late at night

Drunken rebels enjoying life and freedom

Druggies enjoying light and love

Here I sit wrtiting my stupid little notes

Watching life go by, wondering why?

What did I do that was so wrong?

Who did I upset so that my life turned out like this?

My emptiness of life, am I so different

Devoid of love, too shy to approach

Too ugly to be confident, too bad, too late, too old

Sarcasm a language we all speak

Indifference a way of looking at life

My life is complicated, confused and out of control

I am tired and too old for games

My van, my sanctuary, my life

deceipt and lies, honesty and truth

four words, four meanings basically one ideal

two concepts, two different ideas

however, unfortunately, same result

 

neither frees the inner demons of doubt

they have been there since man first walked upright

your inner doubts maybe different to mine

think about it, how similar

 

your fears are no different

the way we deal with them is

some people can identify theirs

are they better than us?

 

naivety is not such a bad thing

ignorance a sin in any language

acceptance would be a huge relief

life sucks then you die

Lover, Friend, Enemy, All The Same

your face haunts me in the middle of the night

a brilliant smile that makes my heart soar

sometimes at night i still feel your skin on mine

you took my manhood when you left, crying i go back to sleep

 

your body to me was the greatest temple

i worshiped it daily, up close and from afar

your eyes and loving words hiding the truth

a pool of lies, an ocean of deciept

 

i understand you did what you had to do

late nights worrying and even later nights talking

you played me for a fool, what a tune i must have made

life comes full circle, i now understand karma

 

my life with you amazingly mirrored another

this time it was i who got played

my howls in the night of forgiveness and apology

to a person i hurt in my youth, unanswered, unfullfilled

 

rebuilding my life after the destruction of my love

while hard, it is refreshing, my new eyes see truth

how can you live with someone knowing no future?

how can you have a future without knowing love?

Life for me has always been difficult

Never knowing love without booze

Mother with problems, alcohol and pills

Father with hatred for talented child

 

We all grow up with mixed feelings in life

To love or not, be safe or not, to live or die

For some the lines get blurry

For me they forgot to draw draw them

 

Writing a talent everyone possesses

Just some are luckier than most

No expectations are ever held

No results, the result of doubt

 

Sitting alone I wonder about my life

Where did I go wrong, or this a plan?

Suicide a word that always looks pretty good in lights

True courage is living
