It's your birthday, December twenty first
make a wish
let the candelabras burn an inch
something precious
in the morning, evening kiss
you've always longed for.
Pray beneath the mistletoe, adorned
grab your popcorn
the couch besides the window looks so grand
take a peek
with a smack of lips on buttery fingers, *prang!*
there goes the earthly orb.
Park your derriere mid-chew
enjoy
the riots, panicked, raving loons
peering out
with that last piece of popcorn in your mouth
hear those shouts
that the world is ending
breathe the fumes
the flames are sending
see the crowds of mental patients cry
the morning after
the
disaster sends the paranoia hangover *High!*
of a cityscape in shreds
Sirens resonating with your bed
a good book to send yourself to dream,
it was your birthday today
and you got to listen to the lunatics scream.
The torrential flames consume what what once was known as freedom,
and the waft debris latent in the streets of hearts bursts forth
worse then any building's collapse. Fore what is collapsing is our peaceful hopes in a dignified future. The crowds in waiting, rage and anxious loathing watch as one revolution dies with more to follow as the walking shadows quaff the backdrop flames latent in our hearts with retardant foam. One dictator's seed was sown, after then next has stole, our homes and what will befall us next without it? That mother all our hearts have grown, that mother birthed us, weened us and cared for us, that dream we conceived together to be a free, individual group of people again, robbed of us because we dared to stand up and say no together. May you rest in peace, our peaceful dreams.
In the eve, surrounded by my fallen dreams
I've left my hopes behind.
I've left my aspirations stranded,
buried deep within the depths of time.
My pen is lost, in sweat and tired
efforts wasted in the moments past,
all I feel know is in question,
melancholy, none had asked.
Somewhere maybe, lurks a future
what it is, I cannot know
but till then, *lie* my nose is buried
the sands of time for lack of snow.
