The Web Poetry Corner - Daniel Bradbury - Meteorite Coming
Meteorite Coming
by
Daniel Bradbury
Sun break slithering
across moonscape night visions
Day dreams of day break at midnight
blinded by the moon's own light
Meteorite coming, put off the day light
Night time breeze
through the Snake King's trees
He embraces me in his soft, cool coils
and I know my fate
I worship the sun
but my prayers only reach the moon
so the moonlight shines as bright as sun
And I cry for the Snake King
I will risk rising and falling
where as you just rise
I can attain the highest breaks
while you wallow in the true altitude
I'll become a god and die
and you'll just be a hero forever
The dark side of the moon
is the flip side of all my prayers
and the sun burns the air I breathe
"Thanks for the prayers, son."
Snake King kisses the moon
and I cry for his affair
with a ghost, ephemeral
I won't let him cry for me
No affair, no prayer
Meteorite coming, pray for day to come late today
In my quest to keep Snake King from crying for me
I let the moon weep torrents
"Look out, there's more to come, boy..."
The sun laughs
NEXT?
