Beware thoughts that come
In the night (William Least)
Beware acts that follows
From the dark to "alter"
Some times in life and deeds
Skid marks we leave on roads
Rubber treads fast on escape
Wipe our mouth clean off crumbs
Dust the cobwebs off our cloths
Quick look around, its a clean escape
After distance travelled
Setting "tranquil" gaps between events
And situations complicated, luck on our side
To only find ourselves
Back where we left, in lift off,
Birds do see when they drop,
Where they drop, their droppings
Littering in mid flight is no excuse,
Even for those to be "fond" of
I will get you, I see your colour
I know your mark, fatigue and hunger
Rest demands you land, by law
I await your return, I will get you
Foot prints leaves trace marks
Like shadows with one step behind
Slowly catching up, on paths long walked
The sudden door knock, that brings us fright
When skeletons in cupboards start rattling rumbling on
And ghost of shadows appear in deja vu
That is the horizon
Karma walks
In such slow pace
Beware thoughts that come
In the night
Beware acts that follows
From the dark
Hi Kodjo, nice to see you at Carry on Tuesday. I especially like the words:
ReplyDeleteSome times in life and deeds
We leave skid marks on roads
Rubber treads fast on escape
Very descriptive and clear image!
dark and engaging. it makes me wonder what you're thinking about doing and why. well done.
ReplyDeletedeliciously dark...and karma has a way of catching you when you least expect it...bird dropping droppings...yikes...ha
ReplyDelete"The sudden door knock, that brings us fright
ReplyDeleteWhen skeletons in cupboards start rumbling on
And ghost of shadows appear in deja vu"
Great passage... leads nicely into the "slowing karmic" ending.
A truly clever write! The tale of karma and how it stalks our journey, wonderfully composed ~ Rose
ReplyDeleteLove the images and the message :)
ReplyDeleteKarma will come back
ReplyDeleteOn the attacj
To bite you in the behind
As sooner or later it will find
Your sneaky self
Knocking you from your shelf
Great write you gave
With the words you pave
a dark piece...wonderful lyrics - keep these poems coming
ReplyDeletePhew, I'll take that as a warning!
ReplyDeleteIt's those skeletons in the cupboard I'm worried about really.
Clever, a very dark but so true karma will get you.
ReplyDelete"I know your mark..." Such powerful imagery. And the visual I got of Karma walking... Just great. Excellent. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt is a dark piece, but the lines just carry the reader forward. I really like this.
ReplyDeleteBeware the acts that follow. Yes, thoughts are one thing, but when we start acting on them, skid marks for sure. Great write.
ReplyDelete"The horizon Karma walks" is such an effective phrase. This was both jarring and inventive. Thanks, Kodjo! Amy
