Depressed me
Whitney Houston hit notes like a blessing
Blaring
I looked at stars sing hymns
Impressing
Then hearses of theirs sadly eclipsing their verses,
A good day came when their Death came calling
Watching
As heaven and hell closer came hugging,
Meditating on life got me cold chills
Burnings
Too tight, a track too thin to walk in
Everything looks cold
Even the days I write on paper with a lamp burning,
Symbolic
Would my name be in that book
Worries
Or would I have to burn? I think
Stop it!
Weary dreamer with many a failed dream
Nightmares, turning, snoring
Finally woke up, slipped on something
Saw a ghost in his room, nerved him
Screamed, so high, like a siren
Piercing
Looking back in his mirror clearly,
Back at the devil peering
How did he become this ugly?
Scary
Wrinkles like bad dimples in his flesh
He looking at the stud in his ear
Deadly
Ah! Ain’t that (f)earrings?
Then
You shouldn’t be writing this
Shut up!
Honey, you are frightening me
Shut up!
You’re no more the man I married
You changed suddenly
Shut up!
I can hear a trumpet; I’ll like to see
Shut up!
The rapture is happening; people are being taken up
Shut up!
I love you babe, I’m levitating,
Just shut up!
All is silent, dark
He looks for a torch,
It won’t work,
He screams madly
Shut on…
Trying to follow every thought that I draw on
Trying to understand all that’s around us
But everything knows a mind enlightened
Lightened
Twice more burdened
Hurting
As you’re try to grab these loosened verses
Time’s passing
Your life like a clock ticks
Passes
More hearses
New verses are written
Choirs rehearsing
Questioning our lives
God, philosophy, our gifts, callings, eternity
We, these artists of vanity
Exhausting our destinies
As time never stops
Like a banker
It keeps counting
