Poem
The stranger treads the sidewalk, Walking his happy-go-lucky canine Solitude is preserved in him… He’s as hard as a rock Faint melody is heard on his cell phone As quick as lightning strikes Acting chicken with his girlfriend, Calling him unexpectedly during his fine walk with his buddy He picks up the phone timidly in a hurry He talks on his phone at a quarter till nine Dance with me with the bells chiming in the distance Are you a ghostly friend or a fiend, being a feisty, greedy predator? In the background, I see you swaying right this instance Are you alone or are you with someone else? I don’t mean to intercede…I want you to lead the way, you heroic leader! Get out of your comfort zone Share with me your angelic features – a secret left unknown Whisper into my ears and I’ll never feel alone I remember those moon-drenched nights we made love, Now I’m as hard as stone You blow my mind with sunlit serenity Yonder come night, moon-drenched nights come our way Leaving behind all heartache, piling upon us with poverty Render your dreams to the peace-abiding angels and they’ll paint us A thousand more moon-drenched nights, Spoiling us rotten with peace paradise, not disarray Lift your head off the floor and look upright and see the eye-catching sights! Move forward and be the light of the world of woe Are you a clever angel or a devious devil, Stimulated by blood-fire and stealing away our moon-drenched nights? Cemented ink splotches the skies with menacing lies I can hear your echoing goodbyes, I see you vaguely, making high-pitched cries My ears are bleeding…can you hand me a tourniquet? I’m feeling sorry for you…can you pass me a handkerchief? Are you alone and want everyone to be on your level? I don’t mean to be rude or anything of that nature, But you resemble a brainless follower! Can you see the sun beams, Streaming down beneath the surface of the sea? We’re breaking by the seams It’s NOT what it seems…what happened to your glory? Has it transformed to envy and melancholy? The stranger treads the sidewalk, Walking with a peculiar, stray feline by his side, Too shy to reveal herself in front of him Fearing rejection…fearing judgmental comments But still feeling that same whim The sky was overcast and the clouds were grim The dog and his friendship were blazing aflame… God knows what the cat felt, Knowing that deep down inside – this nameless shame This shady, yet dazzling sensation is bottled up in him… He’s smoking a cigarette – I wish him moon-drenched nights with his fiancé He’s walking on thin ice as his violin voice projects louder than ever… I wish he would shut his mouth and be with his darling Forever in a single moon-drenched night All along, he was chit-chatting On his phone at a quarter till midnight
