As Days Go By

Inspired by Opeth – The Drapery Falls and this entire year… I sip on Super Mario Brothers hot cocoa cup Filled with convictions’ drop From streams of consciousness Ready to skinny dip into a new plateau No Holds Barred Ferocity’s grip Looking upon God’s yesterdays As He hands me a pen Asking me what I have learned … As days have passed I slow dance with convex mirrors within glasshouse. Remedies to my confusion Thrusting me back to the day A befriending of cotton candy souls As we ride against Ferris Wheels with a song That should never end Holding hands through rickety roller coasters Pulling me downwards Upwards Parallel to perpendicular resolutions The square root to pale ghosts Staring with onyx want All of their tainted wishes Were for brighter days … As these days pass I recollect collective smile upon my spiraled breaths. There should have been more. There could have been more. It’s not too late for early newcomers into my atrium. But, you better have your ticket in hand. For I have already tasted the scalding broth of disappointing screams Overpowered in salted dramatics Please Just come as you are Unfiltered No plastic surgeries are welcome within these heartbeats. … As days go by I continue to dream of tomorrow’s smile Placing loudspeakers against silenced seclusions With ONE MIC I hail to cathedral sanity Swimming within my stream of consciousness that few can dive into Without turning their backs … As tomorrow approaches Who will be the spark in our cherry bombs? To light jeweled, nocturnal ionospheres within breaths of security And sincerity coated fingertips Who I ask? Speak loud!!! Speak in unbridled frequencies!!! Don’t wait for another day to go by… ...without me waking up to your sound again. ©Drake J. Eszes
