Artipod - a poem's jouney
The Queen of Trench Coats
The queen of trench coats stole my heart
Maybe with one trench coat at a time
Or all at once I’m not really sure
But what i am sure about is that i was hers, once!
most probably love at first sight, that leaves you troubled, leaves you murky
like a river that starts nowhere and ends in another territory ,
That has no rhyme, that has no meaning, has no why, nor a timing…
I have no words to describe…
Not because of the majesty entirely
It had no meaning and it needed one
It had no narrative and it needed a path
Something to settle on, somewhere to rest
Who wins wars? The last one standing…they say
The one with clear objectives, with the passion to withstand it
Truth be told
the battlefield of my mind is still blooded
Hope and helplessness dance together
Dreams and nightmares are now one
Fear and courage, whichever… gone
Everything armed in the cold that is near
But i got to put the guns down
I know, i see…. the enemy
Their steps… their runaways
Kids roaming around
But the enemy doesn’t know me…
I’m a ghost in the whereabouts of the city
I walk, cry and weep alone
In the burning light of these sunny days
The ghost city made me one of them too
Cause what you love transforms you
The peace treaty will take time
As i face the enemies of my dark dreams
I’ll rage chaos in mind mind
And disrupt the order in my life
While the enemy lives unbothered
the future that they had in mind
I can’t take the other ghosts with me
You all need them… to see
What life should not be
Now trench coats in the trenches
Our hearts on the ground,
I can feel the fear in the heart beat
affecting all around
What was once the light in your darkness
Now it’s darkness in your daylight
And I ramify into strangeness
Only if i was anything at all
Anything to be worried about
To avoid or to call
i know, i see…the anger inside of me
Not so easy to deal with
the ramifications of the heart beat
She was mine and I was hers
In what remains an overture
