Poem Title:
Poem
a collaborative work with Alfred Vassalo The Stars sparkled in her eyes As light interlaced with her shadow Causing her to question her senses Even though she closed her eyes light continued to seep out Her brilliance, competed with the sun blazing in the sky the evening was no longer sheltered by protective darkness Everything turned backwards in a distortion of time as she disembarked on yesterday's tomorrow Dum di dum, dum di dum, dum di dum The world traveled like an efficient train From noon to morn, from night to noon Slower and slower, emphasizing quickened pleasure! Time was thought to be an unstoppable train With shrieking tracks disturbing the ears there was no one able to disembark Theirs was a one way ticket stamped with fear as the conductor grinned with maniacal eyes and yellowed teeth When one is lonely one must say so Why did she run away in damned fright?? Is it because she can no longer find refuge in darkness? She is the breaking of day, the desolation night! They close their eyes for a while To shield extraordinary sights everything is a toast to indulgence Even through closed eyes, she brings them a festival of lights. They try blocking their ears for a while To shield all the unbelievable sounds Laughing, chanting and crys for help All of the whispering that remains out of bounds. They wait within their silence for a while Anticipating that she may speak the lonely truth Silence stabs with its golden blade Her light bequesting a fountain of youth. Voom, voom, Voom voom, Voom voom, Her carriage moves backwards without stopping Heart slowing to an imperceptible beat Twisted limbs lay tired and flopping. The moon is full, they think, it is howling She stands kneeling awaiting the earliness of peace Hoping it’s not far, for her life is crumbling They hear the tock ticking of the interfering timepiece. She sleeps soundly and awakes to total love Feeling the air entering deeply into her lungs The time of doubt evaporates with her tears For now she speaks in tongues. "My freedom has been formed in a wreath of black roses" The "fly people" gather around investigating the air Baize.....Bzizzz.....Bzizzz.....Bzizzz.....Bzizzz..... They are completely fulfilled with her great and reasonable care. Blank eyes stare at pictures of a convulsing world Seeing the mourning sun and the blood red moon She feels the fire dripping from her eyes and hears their crying All emotions so vivid come in a time most inopportune. Published books tells of many stories and facts Yet who can comprehend paragraphs that don't make sense Words can't understand the monogamy of hopeful lovers Squeak....squeak....squeak....as they copulate on an ancient bed! Heaven cannot be witnessed from the deepest pit of hell An intrepid life as it is, seemed boring in captivity Her long awaited heaven has gone moved to another place While hell came rushing in, handing her a time of insensitivity. They heard the beasts of burden, heavily loaded in their disgrace The race horses whipped rapidly to win the race Galopp....Galopp....Galopp....Galopp....Galopp.... She came last behind all those who were forgotten without a trace...... Freddie's poem captured my imagination and with his permission, I have interlaced his words and ideas with my own. Check out his original poem it is titled "Out of Sight - Hard of Hearing" I'm sure he would appreciate your visit and comments. I have listed the first five stanzas to whet your appetite. Out of sight - Hard of Hearing No star has sparkled, not in my eyes It’s glittering with my heart interlace Although I have never questioned my senses I’m quite sure it shines brightly in space. I know the sun blaze in the sky With my soul also when it’s dark Nonetheless all in good time It will blaze my life disembark. Dum di dum, dum di dum, dum di dum The world travels as an efficient train From morn to noon, from noon to night Faster and faster muting my whispering pain. I also know the train comes to a halt With shrieking tracks disturbing the ears No one is left on board we all must disembark This is a one way ticket filled with fears. When one is lonely one must say so No need to run away in damned fright A light bulb only shines in darkness And daybreak proceeds after night. .....continued
