I can't write, no more
My mind all numb
But God, I have to weave
Won't lay down dumb
And thus here I come
To steal your words
To rob your thoughts
To loot your pearls
And plunder the lots
I envy you o' poet
For the beauty you carve
The soft touch of your rhymes
Serenading
Against the moonlit night
As the waves dance to your tunes
And so does the world
Malevolent you term me
Whatever
I wouldn't lose myself
To the meager honey dipped sweetness
That you so perfectly emote
Repulsive
And my heart cries
Failure and jealousy burn me deep
I probe further
Who cares about originality, anyways
Nay, no more
And thus here I come
To steal your words
To rob your thoughts
To loot your pearls
And plunder the lots
The ugly villain am I
But fame is what I desire
I am a cheat, yes
But that's all there to me
Your success will now be mine
Am addicted to your music
And they would now flow from my pages
Credibility, may be not
But success guaranteed
I am the evil
I am the devil
I would turn your world dark
Curse me how much you like, but
Forgive me for my sins
Your words are what I would steal
Feelings and sentiments I would peel
And then the cosmos would sing my song
Not realizing that I have been always wrong
But, that's it, and here I come
To steal your words
To rob your thoughts
To loot your pearls
And plunder the lots.

DeleteOh wow this is spectacular. Some people aren't born with your poetic soul so they must steal the words for their own. Of course I'm not entirely sure that's what this was about...but it is spectacular nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely correct Keith .. that's what I had meant :-)
