In the Moment

Luke Dailey December 25, 2014 Everything is topping up The Lunatic has struck his luck By waiting like a sitting duck He found his “Stomach-tuck” His stomach-tuck’s a golden goose Or is it his final noose? Everything is going round But where is it going down Is time a river or a line? Nothing here is really fine She used to be oh so kind That was in a different time Now she’s of the other kind Hope is killing one by one His mind and heart are one and one Look at me, “What have you done?” You were the only one Take a trip down memory lane What a pointless, silly game If you don’t come out on top Your mind will quickly pop Lights are flashing red and blue “Oh god what did I do?” “I promise you this isn’t me.” “Please will you believe me?” I wanna go home it’s eating me Wishing me to slowly die I woke up in a suit and tie Time just keeps on ticking by No one sees, I sure don’t Slowly closing in my throat Waking up, it’s just a joke God is crying in his boat Is it raining or melting? The Lunatic hears all the dings The clock is rusted, time is gone And his mind is too far gone If you think he’s good you’ll see What a joke he played on me Time is gone, frozen And nothing’s gonna fix it now Nothing’s gonna fix it now Who’s the one laughing now?

Nice and fast, Luke I love it... You forgot one thing, your name on the bottom. A perfect 7. I lost my touch when it comes to writing-- in the moment poems. I'm hoping I'll be inspired by all my entries. Thank you so much. Enjoy your days and the coming New Year. Love ~LINDA~
