Legacy ImaginedA Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE) Staring
towards God’s lair The
sky like my fireplace; Cold,
dark, empty… I tilt
my head: nothing changed, Except
my point of view. I
close my eyes; clarity becomes surreal, The
sky a glowing amber, Psychological
flames heat my mind Causing
it to rise… Carried
away on a hypnotic breeze. I
shout at the top of my lungs So my
thoughts can ride my vocal hopes Like a
magic carpet, till they become vapor trails. I
freefall; the ocean my safety net, The
tide my salvation, The
shoreline my savior. My
footprints in the sand Become
hot to the touch, Each
step sinking deeper Till I
find myself Within
a foreign basement; The
smell of roses permeates This
damp structure, Somehow
unsettling to my senses My
stomach tightens Like a
hangman’s noose. A
flicker, then a flash; A
spotlight then accents a table With a
game of poker in progress… I’m
compelled to join. Five
card draws the game; E.A.
Poe to my left, The
lizard king to my right… All my
cards; ace of spades Still
I win the hand; A gust
of wind, I open
my eyes… The
sky is blue My
face pale white. © 2010 The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)Featured Review
