A Riddle in the Middle of the Night



I never mind my mind not being right
Until I find myself depressed again
Find myself lost to the cost of it in
The shadow of death every now and then

Memento mori whispered from behind
I want to turn around but never mind
I have to look ahead of me instead
For the light that might be looking for me

I have to close my eyes so I can see
Haunted not to be but wanting to be
Chanting de profundis clamo ad te
The darkness understanding what I say

Remembering the dead and what they said
I know what to look for by what I find
The darkness reminding me of the light
A riddle in the middle of the night

My family who are no longer with me speak to me at night in my dreams. Strange dreams. Old fights. Old problems. I find myself going to sleep later and later each night.

If those are your parents, I would say that she was a real beauty and that he was handsome, debonair and a real killer.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
