Keith Dovoric Poet Rhyme

Countdown

You can say the sky has many hues
You can say the stars are all your friends 
You can say the sun has paid its dues
And that this love affair won’t ever end 

There’s so much there to hope for and invest in 
And maybe even build up and describe 
You can say it’s all an open question 
But I’m counting down the days until I die 

The man under the bridge awaits the signal 
To greet the train that will decide his fate 
He’s all done with the sellers in the middle 
But can’t divorce them in his present state 

But from his desk, he now retrieves the bottle 
Takes off his boxer shorts and sheds his tie 
He shoots his wife and tells a supermodel
That he’s counting down the days until he dies 

Turn a page —
That calendar, that dream 
In Limbo, do the shuffle 
In thine eye find the beam 

You can play ecarte on Riviera 
You can watch the silver in the sky 
You can disembark, but I can’t sail there 
While I’m counting down the days until I die
