Long Stomp Poems

My eyes stare straight,
fixated on something in the distance, 
humming a song that would send chills,

Oh, you don’t...

He lifts me up on cloud nine
I’m a lost sheep in godly sleep

Your drinker's doom
Turned out to be a tranquil tomb
Is there any room
To bring out your brilliant, legitimate bloom?

I suppose it isn't rather nice
to think of us this way,
