Homeless San Diego Freeway Five To Heaven

Invasion of tears on a lonely street
I crash spheres of sadness that burst with a sigh
There's no one to tear me apart I can meet?
..a Lexus is lost and the driver is shy...

The freezing orchestra plays in my head
Police sirens as one play with my memory
A voice seems to utter " They will give us bread !!!"
As tearing, lost souls head for the Crematory.

I dream I wake up as pure as a kid
"No More Tears" - a shampoo bottle promises in vain
This time though white traces of a salty skid
Releases my heart, my hopes and my pain...

i read a story in poetry. as always a sad story. it was told very well. and you used tools that amatures like me rarely use. i'll have to learn from you. but you made me feel your tears as you have felt mine. yours John Henry Loving III
