If Rock Stones Roll On A Candlestick.

 

If rock stones roll on a candlestick
Would the flame still raise up a bit
If someone could take the blame
Would it still have flamed the same?

As for the blues that made you cry 
My madness grew way up in the sky
Rolls of dice once upon a lonely time
And for now and then she looks fine.

Oh, the Jester played upon a stage
And Wordsworth turned a new page
Keats, as he fell asleep upon his hill
The danger of his writing nearly killed.

When the day finally turned outright
We danced along to the Moon at night
Flamed bonfires that burned out cold
Only for now and then as life grew old.

There was a smell of a sweet honeycomb
With Bumblebee stings, you headed home
To a warm and cosy sleeping in a dream
That brought home all the things we mean.

Now do you believe me now and then
When the music was written with a pen
But if the inks turned to black and blue
And that\'s why I had said I still love you.

For the spectrum of a rainbow that glows
Says a lot about the luck you never know
And the stars at night they glow the same
As love written in the sky, we saw a name.

As trees grow up they all lose their bark
But, the angels sang along with the lark
The birds they whistled in tune in a flock
And I knew that day that I was out of luck.

For home sweet home is a lasting love
From clouds so fluffy they cuddled such
Meaning in their soul from the Lord above
That never caused to marry in our love.

And winter showed us all to the spring
It was chestnuts on the fire we\'d bring
Like the footprints left behind filled up
And Christmas time is a special touch.

Time has moved along on bated breath
This mind and thought which had a test
Falling from the sky the angels had died
That day when I thought we\'d never cry.

This love of ours had turned to dust
The silence forgot the mislead trust
As the feilds of spring grew Daffodils
Had left me behind, ask me if you will.

Steps on the horizon filled with gloom
Waited for the summer to glow in bloom
Then that day finally came as I shouted
The lovers cried and the haters doubted

I received a letter through my letterbox
I never opened it because of its loss
And as spirits raised above rooftops
My bed was filled with a life that lost.

I knew that my time was up
My heart was broken too much
But, now I\'m laid to rest
In a life that tried its best.

And as I entered Heaven\'s gate
I took the steps and was too late
To bring the happiness that cost
A whole life that never gave a toss.

Now please remember my poems
If it hurts and you don\'t know them
Raise a glass to drink in knowing
That hurt I loved kept on showing.

I came back if from the dead
I wished upon a sleeping bed
Roses spread all on their own
Blood bled on my thorny frown.

So I took just one more chance
To search for love and romance
But, nothing ever came along
This dream I had was now gone.
