In the Hours Between

It was in the morning 
When I heard him snoring 
Like loud like a lion
He who falls from my eyes
Every sense feeling nonsense 
Early lights in goosebumps 

Served myself a red riddle
Leaving me tortured and energetic 
Shooting my lungs to no air
My kidneys helped me breathe
Each cough counting complaints 
In a peaceful war against the snore

It was at the noon
When I took the spoon
As slowly as a chameleon
I heard with my idle itchy iris
The solo sweetness of sugar 
The extent the morning envied

The signalled shock swiftly slowed
At this cold clock I realised
You'll possibly progress into pains
In cheerful charming your chains
I needed bread! I had bread!
Was then full a hundred

It was in the evening 
When he saw me shoutly quiet
In twilight trails similar to noon
All that split my peas into pies
I had no more morning mourns
More morning laughs had me
