Poem For 2015: A New Beginning by Osarieme415(m): 6:41pm On Dec 31, 2014 |
You are like a serpent About to shed its skin You are my jungle Deprived of its menace Old wine and a wasteland See the sun has fled in midday! Lie bravely on your bed,O day I know,what the morrow brings Is arrayed in a haze I breathe a deep sigh of memories Fireworks must toll your deathknell In the city of a feverish race They will shout with triumph Till voices ascend heavenwards In a babel "They cannot wait to seal another chapter in the book of days. " It is but the space of an hour When she shall be borne into The graveyard of ages Amidst the wailing of joyful mourners Their wish is to drench the sky with colours And make new decrees for life Oh yes-And dance I lay down my past, six-feet too Behold a new beginning |
