Jo Bien Poet Verse

Prophet

temptation bought without reason
what is the price you'll pay
when it's choking out the sunshine
a dark cloud on a rainy day 
it consumes scratching and screaming
climbing its way to the top
a thick cream that rises
clabbering but never stopping

fragments of possessions
pointed shards of yesterday
cutting deep, crimson bleeding
all you've hidden away
the fear so black and hollow
as it suffocates all you know
slam that door, lock it tight
refuse its ticket to the show

take the shroud that wrapped you
shed that tiresome weight
the angel on your shoulder
will always be your saving grace
a silver lining does appear
like a prophet it will speak
take its advice, don't think twice
at times when you feel weak
