Seasons

The ruffled hair, yes!! that is it
what he was waiting for
Pick your pen…

Its block, its black, all gloom but not yet doom
Rise up…

The current is strong, the tide is sweeping
the leaf is caught between rocks its still hanging
Hold on…

The milk is spilled,its now hiss then tears
but the cup fell sideways
there is still hope for tea
Go on…

He cuss and screams,its red eye then black
she swears and stabs and then its dark
before then
Walk away…

There is light and then its out
but you saw a blade & a rope then the door just bolts
Reach out…

Its you, its me
mr machete, mr thug
but they are always US
its handshake at night & smiles
Be wise…

Its dripping through a hole
don’t buy a glue buy a screw
Fix it….

You are up the rungs, the zenith is clearer
he is down below,you are getting mad
he isn’t slow he’s caught in the mud
Don’t leave…

Its flash and glam
the life is rosy but at what price
we see the now but not the end
Look again…
