The Bell Tolls

Sleepless nights/
Coltrane is dead/
Closed minds/

Forgotten promises
sealed in flesh,
sleepwalkers,
with the bell tolling
drenched in brackish tears,
my heart grieving
from lack of ambition, poet..


flows from history's
vanishing mirror.
where, where
is the cure, poet?

(pause)


The eyes of future
ideograms glitter from
midnight constellations,
embroidering maps
of the poet's soul
to reveal infinite treasures
dressed in fire,
exhaling golden flames,
leaping renewal
quivers beyond
the moral point of view
as blue rays of light
flint the flesh
purity gazes,

dazzling our coffee shop
at the end of the universe
if only for another brief
moment in time.

Hi SAS, a deep Inventive write. With the right choice of words you write your vision and It forms on the canvas, before our eyes. You create and mold the vision, we take the vision and give It life within our minds, everyone may look at the piece differently so your piece may have different lives, but It lives, and that Is what Is Important. Keep writing your Gold.
Have a good day. Catch you later. Your Friend always....MIKE.
