POEM. ..the Old Club Memoirs by lordthunderbolt(m): 6:23pm On Apr 27, 2015 |
A voice stays caged in my soul Moments served In a hole Alcohols and wild dances and the show Those moments still rove Blind youth in me cry wild The beats spoke home Where youth dined smoke Young women swayed bones Still wild but old with sticks He nods and tap away from graceful streak How youth soon flee it's peak Lost in memories he paused Betty blue the gal with the horse Danced and immersed in brine of booze How weak she lay When youth flees another voice speak hoarse In somber woods deep in the heart Wild animals speak through calm minds And all caged in youth Spent on party and drugs Regrets eats walking sticks Reason prevails the weak Who with sober eyes Recalls the lengthy youth Wriggled in beats Dissolved in the violent fumes The stank odours from putrid pores The drips of sweat from veteran whores Repentant frogs Experimental hogs All that remains is the youth Soaked in a caged voice in the old The regrets and self amuse afternoon Rocking chairs And the matric fumes reminds It surely reminds The youth And how we spent it |
