Not Too Long Ago

Not too long ago,
I did write my famous lines
the power of my pains
did bring more rain to all who reads
my heart felt words
that I had written down
in my own blood stain ink,

My words are strong a
yet very deep like the sea
it holds things of long ago
it talks about the pains of yesterdays
I had never denied
my tears for all to hear,

They fall into the cup for all to drink
that will run deep
into your veins while you dream
all about me,
darken dreams will make you feel
you are going to die in a hateful ride
in another time of long ago,

You will scream out so much pain
but no one will ever hear a thing
my pains will rise in everyone’s eyes
that sees me dancing around
in the cold September storm,

To all those who reads about me
you will hear the cries
of the foreign tongues
of mockery of darken time
that cuts away at the mind.
