Don't Let Me Be Gone...

"Oh brother, I can't. 

I can't get through.

I've been trying hard to reach you

cause I don't know what to do.

Oh brother, I can't believe it's true.

I'm so scared about the future

and I wanna talk to you..."

"And it came to me then

that every plan

is a tiny prayer to Father Time."

"And I rationed my breaths 

as I said to myself

that I'd already taken too much today."

"You've haunted me all my life

through endless days and countless nights.

There was a storm when I was just a kid.

Stripped the last coat of any sense."

"Its a bad dream.

No one on my side.

I was fighting, but I just feel

too tired to keep fighting.

Guess I'm not the fighting kind.

Where will I meet my fate?"

"I'm a goner.

Somebody catch my breath..."

The Asphalt Rivers

A moving mass of metal,

I was

along for the ride.

The world was dark then.

Rain came in tides,

every wave pelting the glass.

And onward, I looked.

The roads, like deep,

black rivers,

said "Sink into us."

Strands of lightning crossed

in an eerie tango.

Thunder barraged my ears.

Repeated cannons;

I cannot remember much like it.

There, amidst all

the turmoil and vast,

deepening danger,

I could do nothing

but look toward the horizon.

With eyes glassed over,

I managed a whisper-

"It's beautiful."
