String PuppetA Poem by Cassidy MaskA poem that rhymes - a very rare occurnce for me...
Play those final chords We’re in the death scene now And Romeo’s already dead (The romantics are wondering how) So play those final chords You death-obsessed puppeteer (Romeo’s already dead) Juliet’s time is near Everyone knows the ending So why the catch in their breath (Judging from the tear-stained faces) This is about more than merely death But everyone knows the ending I mean how could they forget I guess they hope it will be different (But their prayers are never met) So pull at the strings of my heart And let them watch the scene unfold My puppet hands will do your bidding Until your own stone heart turns cold © 2008 Cassidy Mask |
