Stay Good

It would seem the fates have it all figured out
Stay good must be written in my stars
It doesn't matter how bad I may think I am
Someone always comes along and says, stay good.

No matter how big the mess is messed
How much times speeds up with no time to rest
I remain the stay good guest
Allowed to play through on my quest.

When I bring back the stories of my daring do
From the fringes and beyond the galactic wall
It doesn't matter how long I'm away in my head
The freshness of my sweep keeps them knee deep.  

No matter how the shifting sands shift
How far my fragile litte spaceship might drift
I remain the stay good quest who doesn't quit
With the landing on her feet catlike gift.

Tomorrow pushes the crowd further into their chairs
Living vicariously through my time warp escapades
What I find easy seems to always evade them
But luckily singularity has a companion called brave.

No matter how below the radar always flying high
Right in front of their in the box, dreamy eyes
Of no consequence unless I make them laugh or cry
Stay good helps them believe there is truth in lies.

Yep...just that.
Does the person feel better
for all of the deceit?

The poem, in a way, reminds me of the
little character, Pasqual, in "Rose is Rose".
He dreams himself into all sorts
of daring-do...but at his young age,
it is all innocent.

Your poet name, "sweetbomb" hints at the
type of games that can be played. I think
there are times that we all veer toward the
edge of safe, and look over into the chasm
of disaster.

I can identify with your poem, for several
reasons, none of which I will go into here. Just...

please, be careful, ok? I've enjoyed your
writings, and I want to read more.

Thank you. I like pushing the edge of the envelope. Careful? I ride horses. I am careful and at the same time quite up for the adventure. My young mare is the same way. A match made out beyond that fringe, eh? D
