My December Midnight
A fated midnight ever so bleak
In mid December midly meek
Pondering thoughts of days gone past
Peering through the Window last
I slouched in my chair, under a bust of Pallas
Fealing light, weary, and yet- Alas!
I see my actions from a past event
Falling from zenith- like God's Servant
From there I tire yet hear some tapping
Interupting my midnight napping
I cross the floor, to my bedroom Window
Only to lapse in a mystical meadow
Supinely lay, I open my eyes
To find the calculus of my demise
I see it all in a deep blue hue
Just before I glimpse, my short life's rue
Unconciously my mind stops dreaming
Suddenly my heart stops beating
My one last breathe at a seconds pace
I have no time left, and see God's face.
Untitled
What will I have to show when my life has ended
Or when my life is at a low, and anything but splendid
I went to school with saps, to get a fancy job
We threw up our caps, and began to sob
But when we found no fun, in the midst of this fray
When the righteous deeds done are seen a-stray
In this place where nice guys finish last
Morals we embrace thrown out so fast
Where am I going, I can only wonder.
My wounds, I'm sewing, my life in sunder.
And when I pass, will anyone remember
Once I'm in brass-- a six feet under member
But I can now see the gates-ever so pearly
When Saint Peter states, "You're here-- so early?!"
I say,"Phil V, reporting here"
"It saddens me", replys his leer
"To see you unflegded, and your life so right;
Let all those who dredged, know you put up a fight"
At this I pondered, if I'll be granted entry
Would back when I flaundered, be the blocking sentry?
"Give me a sec", as he looks through his book
I am but a spec, feeling ill from his look
"Ah here" quote the saint, with a smile on his face
"You may enter the gate, all covered in lace."
And now I see, what life is for
To gain entry, to that golden street floor
