Short Read Between The Line Poems

The instructions were written in Greek
Sometime before people could speak
By some grand design
It read line by line,
"This is the way to go up the creek."...

Molder of mega minds
Tracker of tiny time
I write mountaintops
To read the bottom line

Storm catacomb castles
Swarm like Hollywood hustle
Transform fat into mighty muscle
Warm and happy
With an afternoon apple

Fruit salad ballads
Round about rapids
Cool off in a bath of acid
Knock the voices out of my head
Using a rubber mallet...

The cool breeze began to unfold memories.
It all came back, the tales 
that were stuck in my mind.
How the things haven't changed, yet
changed a lot.

The pace of the wind changed,
turning those pages right before my eyes.
It made me relive; the times
that I smiled, the times
I despised.

In search of a happy ending, I read it by line.
It was the end of a page, not the end of a fairytale....

On top of the mountain lived a king
He banned the village from song
They wondered why their king was sad
The people would cry to no avail
They hoped and prayed it wouldn't last long
And soon they'd sing his funeral song
The king was only an empty shell
For singing was all they ever had
Tho they knew their king was wrong 
He never let his people sing






To get the rhyme read it first line then last and so on...

Why is it
That when the story ends
We begin to feel it all?
That only after we read the last line
Our hearts start to ache, we finally understand why

She said what she said and why he cried
Why they smiled at the end when they found out he died
Why the sky was pitch black in the middle of the day
Why leaves were falling in the middle of May.

For when it is all finished,
You'll realise it was something more, other than the dismay....
