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~
