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
