Due... Poem by Nestor David Armas

Soon you'll leave

And I'll just believe,

That day dreams

Have engulfed me

Completely,

Died long ago

And this story just deems

To repeat what I know

Is the next twist

The next ahhh!

Even if you insist

On what's magical Ta-daa!

No more the less real

Than what I feel;

Grip the sheets tighter

Feeling lighter and lighter,

Turn the lights down

All will be a nightmare

Once again return fare

Leaves nothing but a frown,

Middle of the road

Wandering moose

Fight to wake from this code

Hit the snooze

On death

Startled alive

Gasping for breath,

Sweat beading; dive

Under the shower,

I'll await you

Next season's new flower

Before the summer is due...
