The Midnight Show
Today is good but tomorrow will be better
Today my heart is heavy but tomorrow it will be lighter
Sweat is oozing out of my body dripping from my hands and face
Soaking my shirt as if I was running a long distance race
My Adrenalin is jumping precariously around the town and the heat is
creating havoc in my knees scorching the plants in the first degree
The cars around me are running up down street and curious passengers stared steadfast at me. I can see the frustration on their faces and a strange look in their eyes as if they were reaching out to me and the silence in their voice could be felt from a distance.
I felt myself racing from a distance, racing against time shouldering a burden that is not mine and yet I feel connected to something that’s bigger than me and somewhere in the universe it is waiting for me. It has a romantic lips and a passionate heart but I still cannot bring myself to make that start. It’s bold, it’s fearless and strong; it is deep
The ocean is standing in front of me with open gut reminiscing from the flood and the water lilies are floating around the unsettled mud, it continues to move to where destiny is bound and I continue the struggle this oblique town. I look behind the tree and I saw you standing there signaling to me. From whence did you come, when the damage is already done. From whence did you come, when the battles is already won.
I could feel your vibration from afar and the desire burning in your heart
Smoke billowing in the atmosphere and the birds flying everywhere
The minstrels has competed the round aiming to where destiny is bound
I could feel the rage from afar and tankers rolling gingerly in the dark
You could sense that the universe was coming to an end and the night sky slowly drifting by and somewhere around the bend the tumultuous night came to an abrupt end. I gazed into the dark and your eyes met with mine and our souls interlock.
