Vintage Sighs

By Taunting The Reaper

Swarmy minds and buttercup cries,
a fleeting mind hides a pale silhouette.
Changing your mind takes precious time,
better start now or soon you'll forget.

You're falling now
slipping though time
wasting your cries on a rainbow,
I can't see why your dancing so fine
when it's your time to go.
Say your good-byes
don't waste more time
you've got a ticket to ride.
Boarding the sun,
needing someone
scorching your soul when you've died.

I hear you laugh a musical note,
a smooth, fragrant song that ascends.
No time to cry your empty inside,
a deep void and you become friends.

Smiling away no thoughts for today
you float in a cool buzz alone.
The darkenss awaits,
a priest meditates,
a body that was flesh and bone.
No prayers for you now
a fleeting thought now
a glimmer of what used to be.
A colorful stain is all that remains,
a canvas that no one can see.

You can't wait to leave,
you can't even breathe,
your sleep keeps a doctor at home.
You're left in the past,
swimming thoughts moving fast,
you're a stranger
with no where to roam.
