Blood and Coffee
by Jouri

We go through life hopeless
Laugh and cry and feel helpless
As if your only destiny is confusion
And when you realize the ultimate illusion
A million knives cut through your soul
All in one splitting moment of crime
And as the voices rise out of control
The light intensifies into another dimension
Memories of life getting lost in a drain of time
Whispers in your ear, confession
And as the whisper turns into screams
Tears fall down into crimson streams
And as the sobs turn into hysterical laughter
Reminiscence, a distraction of having everything forever after
Tears have dried into the ground beneath
And as eerie silence takes over, you shiver unable to breath
As the lashes touch, the world freezes
The mirrors around shatter into a wicked mixture of warm nightmares
Reflections of your loved ones all over
Your mother's warm embrace taking you over
You can almost feel the soft skin
Somehow no matter how hard you try the image of her smile gets dim
Your once angel of love kisses you to reality
And as you bite on your lip, a drop of blood falls down, held in air
Reminding you of mortality, ever since you were born, ever since you saw your first dawn
As the lashes part, the drop of life dissolves into your coffee
The weary eyes could not help but stare
The feeling never seems to drown
And you look upon your desk to see a mess of life, truth, the naked tree
As you gasp, lonely leaves fall, life goes on around you
Noisy streets still get on your nerves
It was a moment of death-filled life out of the blue
Blood and coffee a perfect fusion to get through another day
Each after the other, moment after the other as you lose your verve
And in the endless circle of nonhuman reality, just hope, hold on to the pictures and pray………..pray there comes another day tomorrow….pray you go throughout today!
