monsoon crept up on us
while you were in tender sleep
arid skinned night dreamer
lost under feathered sheets
carried away into bonesless existence
with no time
threathening to fleet.
The stars hid behind dark curtains
Fluffed and floating in unison
In the Universe’s sea…
Singing to you and I
Singing the galaxy to sleep.
Mother Earth surrounds us,
The soul gently weeps
Her voice wails through the rainfall
Until every drop is dead beat.
Monsoon crept up on us
The bums lay on the streets
They kiss the gravel
Thank the showers
Yet tomorrow, curse these streets.
Monsoon crept up on us
The children stay locked inside
Craving to fit through the flap door
Restlessly passing their time.
Monsoon crept up on me
And I had no cigarettes and wine
Only tears and your memory
An empty bed,
Oozing mockery in its warmth
To aimlessly recline
Monsoon dodged my sanity
And sunk into my core
Tapping things out of places
Stirring me from heart to toe
Monsoon came and so he will leave
Each season tuned to their time
But here on earth
the lonely forever weep
Here on Earth,
The blues of the heart never dies
With the passing melancholy of the skies.
