    Inspiration: My biological Father...

    Written in NY

    My Father, Not My Dad

    A drunken goodbye
    riddled by a blank reply
    a silent, emotionless stare
    No memories have I
    How dare you say goodbye
    Your hands are yet to be free
    Holding your destiny
    poison in the left
    and cancer in the right
    Is all you'll ever see
    Unless you change your ways
    Sitting back in your old antique chair
    I answer to your every call
    But only for so long
    Will I let this go on.
    Drinking away your worries
    and drowning your fears in clouds of smoke,
    will not ease your pain.
    You once were the world to me,
    although I knew you not,
    But now you are just a man.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
