Poem 6/2/18

I woke up to a red light that floated in my room

While I was asleep, and I didn’t see it again until noon

As I woke up to the amber line of a confronting horizon,

I felt like I had slept-walked all night and this is how I met the prize on

The counter, that I won at the Chuckie Cheese where I swung

With my body holding onto the punching bags, and I was second to none-

If you think in terms of captivity or the arousal of a fight,

I didn’t know what I was doing but still it felt so right

And we sat at the counter in front of the jungle gym

The two girls and I, and we stayed there until the lights grew dim

When I went to bed last night I watched the dark night sky

Through the sunroof above my bed, and I watched the planes fly by

And I felt like if I lived in a fairy tail or some crazy atmosphere

These weren’t planes, but angels, and the notion left a tear

On my cheek and I wondered if anyone could hear me down below

As cars took on the one-way street that was adjacent to my home

And the thought filled my mind like a growing puff of smoke

And I slipped out of bed while my heart became overcome by hope

And when I got outside I sat on my front porch and saw the planes above

And the continuity about the situation made me think of my one true love

Because he was always over me, better than me, liked by more than me

But all the problems would melt away when he would kiss me on the cheek

And as I sat there the wind whipped by like a rolling hula hoop

And I felt like the energy rolling down a hill, inside the inside of the loop

And I got up, walked away, and lie down on the grass

And I felt the weight of the stars above me, one unique and idol mass

And I fell asleep and had a dream where I saw a brown-eyed soldier

Who pointed to the things in front of us and in his eyes, he’d hold her-

The girl by the doorway that didn’t partake in the evil

Of all that he told me would pass come time, like the continuity of a wheel

The night after I refused to look up to the moon window

Because it brainwashed me

And when I dug my head into my pillow

It set my nightmares free-

To above me and away like a dark shadow encased in wings

Those that know it summon it in their desire

And I somewhat associate him to a devil, a Dracula with fangs

And I made up a rule that the only thing that could kill him was the continuity of fire

But all is well on the home front, when I fall asleep

I hope to see the guy I used to love

But still I feel like in the test I almost did cheat

To sleep
