    LOOKING GLASS

    Glass

    Once I looked over

    I saw an angel

    on her shoulder

    thought I just want 2 hold her

    angel of love make me bolder

     

    She walked in a meadow 

    of high grass

    the skies

    full of contrails and contrast

    only true devotion can outlast

    loves demise flying a flag

    at  half mast

    2 the angel my fate was cast

    be absolved or remain aghast

    leave all pain in the past

    in a burial ground so vast

    this lovely vision of soul and sass

    I know that i am up 4 the task

    4 i am looking 

    through the looking glass

     

    once I looked beyond

    I saw her meditating near

    a mountain pond

    in the month of ramadan

    no need 4 stars 2 whish upon

    let bygones be bygones

    or surely the demon will abscond

    never would I respond

    like a debauched king with a harem

    waving palm fronds

    the angel told I have formed a bond

    with a lady of culture and class

    the minute that I chose

    2 look through the looking glass

     

    once I looked within

    I knew love could begin

    again

    though he died 4 my original sin

    my virtue I must defend

    never will I pretend

    2 be a mythological griffin

    a man with a lions body

    and wings of an eagle

    true african kings 

    are forever regal

    so few people

    will walk through the needle

    many will return

    2 live the sequel

    but i know as I prepare 2 fast

    my time in hell is at an end at last

    4 I saw her waving to me

    when I looked through  the looking glass
