Today the wind brought me
A leaf undoubtedly gloomy

I could tell that it had gone through many
For I seem to hear more than one story

It came off a grand oak,
Flew down the river for a soak

Flowing into the sea from the river;
From there the leaf started to shiver

Then a great wave started to amass,
Delivering the leaf to what seemed impasse

The wind swooped in and set him free:
His fate: to be burned slowly

The wind finally escaped
And eventually came to me misshaped

But even though his story was terrifying,
To the point where one would feel like dying,
I felt like taking the skies and flying
Just to avoid everyone's sighing

Grandfather! Grandfather! Oh watch and clock!
Watch me tick! Watch me tock! Without a lock!
Lucifer! Lucifer! Go forth and rhyme!
As I dine with melancholy! And time...

As of late, they're starting to show
What are they you say? I don't know
I see black horns and red wings
Like bats out of hell with loose strings
I say to myself that I can handle,
But I can't help it but to leave a candle
Oh please don't let them fly
So may I ask? Are there demons nearby?

Serve it hot or cold:
It tells stories you've never told

Make it milk or dark
Oh I bet it'll start a spark

Try it with orange or any fruit
And you'll forget the right route

Taste it sweet and luscious ebony;
Perhaps something sweeter than honey
It may be less sweet than candy,
But it proves to be just as dandy

It's something you can't hate I bet
After all, nothing can beat good chocolate

Sweet and simple four-liner:
Oh there is nothing finer
Let it even shine or rain
None can spoil a good quatrain

I used to make hymns
and sweet songs for you
Now; I take your whims
and by God, I flew

It's nearing midnight again
Oh its somewhere past ten
Here I go, lights out
Just wanting to scream and shout

But maybe I'll just go outside
Give myself and the shore a stride
And as the ocean cries,
Perhaps I'll go chase some fireflies

Oh these fireflies; sweet and splendid
Not minding that they're being fended
I touch their light, it gives me kiss
Oh what joy, what simple bliss

Though sometimes you may get burned,
It's usually worth it. At least you learned
For every time you have it on your hand,
I promise you, it won't be like sand

I realize then to deep regret,
It's time to sleep. I had my set
But again I remember that tomorrow,
Won't be governed by sorrow

For at night fall, there is the shore
Nothing I would wish no-less or no-more
Oh midnight please arise,
So I can start chasing some fireflies
