Midnight Posted March 3, 2005 They articulate my poetry is limitless But they don’t distinguish the wisdom is a bless See, I eavesdrop within the tales of the wind Born in the midst of terminology in my mind I been gulping rhythm in and out Basing the beats can’t reflect without I gazed death in the eyes and uttered a demand That is why I don’t understand Besides all the lies they crave to divide Oddly many eras ago I swallowed my pride Miserable looking back and speculating why Departed is what there was and I motionlessly defy So I clench to what I assume is moment with sympathy With a mind partially absent I seen it all through empathy And when my silent beliefs are vocalized Even with poignant eyes I haven’t decriminalized To me there is only solitary truth roaming ceaselessly Reasons to a demise abandoned by a stranger freely Dreamt was a dreamer half consciously inviting reality It wasn’t fate screening scripts but a role in mentality Like a poet I observe circumstances and naively heed To implicit screams rarely heard but in need Words in my head want attention freedom of expression A lot of questions so close to confession So I listen to a song in the middle of midnight An old jazz player recites a poem barely to ignite A window of inner sight reflecting a world so perfect Sophisticated imagination my mind to connect I am a thought of a poet fearing loss of words Reality reflecting fantasies but never occurs We did rather prefer a life so perfect it is deceitful Who knew lies were shaped so beautiful A mother’s prayers a father’s advice So how confused can you be twice?
