Light

His work permit expired

it was time 2 leave paradise

he took with him

an apple slice

and a cup of juice

he thought about the truce

he had made with the muse

and wondered if anyone on earth 

could use

a man without words

separated from song

where do i belong

he asked 2 wordless skies

as a scroll of his

past sins and lies

were written in the clouds

once

he was so very proud

of the platitudes he received

now he was very much aware

of how much the snake deceives

he walked briskly

as the gates of heaven opened slowly

he bowed 

2 the houses of the holy

sepulchre and thorny crown

nothing profound

no more great speeches left 2 recite

just an endless night

and a man without words

separated from his song

where did i go wrong

he asked the vastness of empty space

took a swig of juice

and savored the taste

he thought

how many men are blessed 

2 even work a day in paradise

even when locked in

an inespacable vice

of a life

owned by the muse

maybe it was all a ruse

he thought cynically

and the only true friends

are those never meant 2 be

he was startled as he witnessed

jesus and the prophet muhammad

in a brotherly embrace

ah but he must chase

away the inspiration

4 upon being  sentenced 

2 the guilt of eternal damnation

he must return 2 earth

4 eternity

and remain a man without words

forever

separated from his song
