 Masquerading Avenues
Winds of discontentment
Blue on songs of disrepair As clouds slept nestled on the ground Too heavy for the air Emerald eyes once spirited Now glisten former rain Sating need to masquerade Discomfort over pain Drops divesting of the load A heart weighs on the mind Rain my creativity To stream along and find My refuge among avenues You’ve strolled inside of me Our walks outside reality Take Ether’s reverie I find the Field of Certainties Where hope is growing strong And Tiger lilies chase their tails So fun can tag along A laughing cloud begins to storm So now my troubled sky Hears just how ridiculous I sound when I ask, 'Why? ' Floral vendors beating streets Who peddle verve's intrigue Proclaim of growing flowers That will poison my fatigue Once inquired of the cost Our bartering begins Hence the Wiser Miser says; 'Much more than sorrow's grins' I tell him, 'Name your funny price' Thus offers from the past Pennies I thought if were pinched Forever they would last I talk it over with my Muse Who smirks to let me know Those were senseless wishes Dropped for tears cried long ago 'Sold' I say, and instantly My thoughts pretend to feel Proving I'll be fine, that is So long as I'm not real |
