Childhood

The sound of the ice cream van

Reminds me of my childhood.

I could rhyme of an innocent time

Before I became a man

When all was good.

 

 

But a monster got inside my head.

He is long dead.

Yet still I find in my mind

Him lurking somewhere there.

And I feel that childhood pain again.

 

 

Sometimes I am free

In my poetry.
