Childish

Childish

A Poem by abhas

Angels, darkness everywhere

Outer space, now dreams are scarce

Beat you to the start!

There’s an open grave in the backyard,

 

Hello princess I have a beer,

I can’t talk, don’t really care,

I have lived another year

Troubled innocence slow... I sear,

 

Moisturising the winter nose,

Fragrant demolition I was close,

Celebrating the victory sound,

Now my skin tries to please the ground,

 

Should know what I have to say?

Little green men in my way,

Rain, black coats, roses, the sky is grey,

You won’t find me anyway...

 

Midnight sonata and mahogany romance,

Little miss sunshine waving in a trance,

Mirrors watching a ridiculous dance,

And I left them all to chance...

 

Ants running across the screen,

Spider webs I have to clean,

Only time separates

What I am and what I have been...

I had to read this poem a few times. You took me on many journeys. Life teaches us many things. In the end we must look back at a life and hope we did something good.
"Mirrors watching a ridiculous dance,
And I left them all to chance..."
Thank you for a excellent poem.
