A menagerie of melancholy emotions
Confounds the dreamless state of mind
A whirlwind of images lost at sea
While storm clouds scamper by
Incarcerated within unscalable walls
Hiding away from the world
A conscious that’s broken and can’t be repaired
My demented state – unfurled
Breakneck speed
He’s running to score
Lungs burn like fire
Can he take much more
Skilled with agile
Wiles in his feet
Winning the game
Always makes him complete
Ahead is the line
He need only pass
He holds up the ball
The best in his class
The headlines are bold
In the paper next day
Someone faster behind him
Took the ball away

A candlelight halo
Showed me the way
So, eerie the light
With its ethereal sway
Goblins and ghosts
Sprang to my mind
As I make my way down
To the basement to find
Scurrying creatures
Casting shadows on walls
I take a deep breath
And rethink my cause
Perhaps on the morrow
When the sun shines its light
I will finish my chore
‘Cause, I’m done for tonight
When we spend time in the company of fools…
We shouldn’t be surprised with the outcomes of our lives!
