Misfired visions
stewed all sense of reason
skewed my thoughts
made me lose all track
of rhyme
or reason...
misdirected, the genuine
need to add salt
to the beans
butter, to the toast
even worse
misapplied the seasoning
Despite my best effort to achieve
the object of my heart’s desire…
My mind, being in synch
Sent Morse Code messages
to my wits,
synapses firing tighter
than usual firing frequency permits
sending messages to my hips
which started to moving
as if, i was
hearing
a beat, so hip...
my mouth watered, as i imagined
how sweet the lips of
the woman of my dreams
came home to me
working my mind-overtime
overdrive...
being drained, my brain
started to shutdown, so fast
i started to scream
it was only a dream...
So, let us reset the switch
to reality...
stop messing round
in Looney Town
we've got love to get...
So much so,
if you listen closely,
you might just…
imagine a chain reaction
of satisfaction
stirring in the pot
if you can just hold on
seems like its getting hot
or maybe not...
can hear them humming
on a near-distant hill,
a lone trumpeter stands tall
Spits out such a beautiful
string notes
they're left hanging in the clouds
just for the love of solemn blues
It’d make the hardest soul begin to weep
A cheeky bird, mazed at what’d just occurred,
Mystified by which means such crisp tones
had come to light…
perhaps envious a rivalry stirred
Sanctified joyous rhythms
all but lost in a dream
Almost as if heaven,
was called to earth
Asking if, anyone was at home…
The trumpeter
played his heart out
speaking directly to them bones…
Those keynotes rang out brilliance,
as if played in a cathedral,
written in stone
Keeping up with the Smiths
by satisfying the jones
Then, lightning struck
it was as if a volcano erupted,
The music died,
the trumpeter, overcome
by deeper sadness, still…
Cried, losing all train of thought
At a greater loss, than ever
decided to go back inside and chill
A distant drummer lost in silence
Started a beat to fill the void
until mosquitoes
and biting flies came to unleash their wrath
Fireflies synchronized their flashes
in and out of phase,
seemingly annoyed…
Crickets, still confused
by what’d all transpired…
Started rumors
chirping lies
Then dragonflies came ...and
attacked the fireflies
Toads and frogs came
to take the lying
Cricket’s lives,
then were...
just as swiftly, gone
(Fade to silence)
