VAINGLORY
Who can count the stars?
Neither you and I
I keep my pace to one direction
Where the sun kisses my face
Wear a smile on my lips
And my heart will take me higher…
There are times when stupor visits me
I’m afraid it’s back for good
Sometimes ideas become so stagnant and impure
I’m scared they’ll never be understood.
Who can stretch time?
Neither you and I
I stand still and appear so stupid
My feet sank, cold, and dead
I smell this heavenly scent nearby
Of garbage round the bend.
When your sweetheart is a timebomb
Peacefully you sleep
When the timing device ticks on
Ticking on to seconds
You wake up!
You say:
"Sweet suicide!"
The ticking device ticks on
To zero–EXPLOSION.
There are times I believe
I wished them false and deceived
There are times I object
I wished them true and corrected.
Falling when you’re high
And my blood is getting dry
Who can shield my eyes and boast vainglory?
Neither you and I…
