30 Days Of Poetry, Day16 "Haunted" Pics Inside by lyricalpontiff(m): 6:13pm On Jun 16, 2015
I could not sleep last night
Even other night to sleep na fight
My conscience lifts a weight
I’m in need of solutions, my heart deflates
I have a big problem
Each time I close my eyes I see them
Yes I see them all
From my bed to the floor to the wall
I wish it was a dream
But it isn’t, so I melt like heated ice cream
They always know where to find me
Their presence won’t let me be
And they will never leave
So every day I grieve

I’m being haunted by the passing of time
So I sought help by the elements in our clime
But the pepper in the night made me cough
I choked, the fumes of the atmosphere was tough
In panic I crawled behind some trees
Tears from the trees wet a hive of bees
“Where do I run to?” thoughts ran through my mind
I was groping as the fog made me blind
Claws of the wind clutched me
Tear drops of the clouds touched me
The fangs of the night stung me
I was speechless as reality hung me
I watched the moon stare with a devilish grim
The drowsy star in anger went dim

I can’t hold down my conscience till infinity
If I yield not, the horrors will be eternity
For I have made starving beats salivate in anger
They need lyrical dishes to quench their hunger
My malnourished muse mood swings, so palely
Blank pages frown at me daily
Similes and metaphors shorn of flesh
Figurative formations far from fresh
My rhyme pad was a garden, now a thorn bush
I head for the labour room, ready to push
The more I write, I feel the labour pain
My train of thoughts cruises in my brain
The cry of the baby breaks the fetters on my conscience
As I break free from that horror experience
