![]() SequenceA Poem by Jasmine S. EdwardsSore, Sore Sasurai Spy Mo` Better Blues, A Little Bruise All will get better with time; Sorrow is the Believer with no mind of its own Abandoning the church with broken stain glassed windows A statue of a fallen angel grieves for the lost gates to heaven A wheel within a wheel The same life stories cycle though the ages Just like the seasons that come and go through the year
The Piano man plays a melody for the lives of tormented souls Nothing is as black and white as the keys he glides his fingers across every night Loners and the lost listen to his melancholy melodies as if they are a theme for their lives Giving up the gun for firearms are too short to box with God Wielding a sword instead so he can feel every emotion that comes with every stroke Comrades on the battle field fight through any desert storm that comes their way with ease Trains and planes-once you get gone you miss your home Daily transportation methods are all part the mundane life To break routine, we put our lives on the line for a taste of change
The singing sea is silent in a noisy way at night With the waves carrying a song heard from the bedroom window The tune creeps up on the feet and plays in the head while you drift to sleep Tempted are those whose mind states are ill No resistance is felt when they desire the sweet taste of the red apple Shady hands hold it out to those who can be easily reached and misguided The drifter and the gypsy find beauty in the hideous Holding onto the love they have they travel the world in search of something Together they search for a place to belong and a place where their lives can finally start
My foolish heart I trust thee to not be deceived Yet every time I try to leave and hide the key I find it again A fool who stands in the rain refusing to leave a house that is not a home Musician, songs from the heart have no gender No matter the appearance you take on the feeling remains Loving you from the man I met to the woman you chose to become
Night time lights shine to glorify the tainted Towering skyscrapers built off the blood of civilians Riches in the hands of a few who distribute the corruption to all
Undercover Martyn on the streets completing your mission Drugs, prostitution and gangs prey on the young and plague the old But you won’t stop until the streets are cleaned up and we are all truly free Park Bench People Find a tree to shelter yourself from stormy weather A stranger may give you that second chance you have been waiting for The rain lets the sky cry for the broken hearted For those who have no family or friends that can reach them For those whose lives were set on a long hard road before their birth Thieves in the night Chasing after death to call yourself brave You are robbing yourself of a much greater life purpose Draw the stars For they are souls and the soul is eternal Putting into perspective how fleeting our lives really are
Three days- it’s in a predator’s nature to ruin love Taking advantage of the trust and dependence one gives them Hearts are thorns at a young age and become harder to pluck the pain away Bel Air A child’s innocence comes and goes Like a breeze it’s allowed to blow some days and not on others
I want it all One’s desires can lead to their own demise Everyone is a victim to sins and virtues while some chose to victimize Fancy Clown you wear a mask to hide your dark ambitions Playing with love and lives playing with lust and pride to inherit nothing The tears of a clown is what you will cry when you obtain the thing-death
Strong for yourself To protect the ones you love Keep striving with brains and brawns my friend Yesterday -those hidden truths will be revealed today Seeing those you once called family that have passed away They have not abandoned you and live on inside your memories
That heat- a home is not the only thing lost In a house fire the smells, sounds and feeling are disassociated Scattered in the smoke, drowned out by alarm, in the ashes swept away Illness Illusion-the world is lost in its own greed Ruining the lives of others to assert control over a territory An illusion we hope will fade away but it still remains to be a sickness
Sweet potato-give information to help fill the holes The hole of identity, the hole of loss, the hole of loneliness Reveal all true feelings, retell the truths in lies, and repair our hearts A little bruise The pain will be replaced with love soon And no longer will we be sore, sore wandering spies © 2014 Jasmine S.
