Midnight Reflections Poem by jathin aka jesuzz

As this night falls apart
Dominoes of fate topple
Waiting like a virgin
Freedom flies away with swift wings
In this darkest hour I wait
For a glimpse of dawn
With words for I view my lawn
Feelings say go down with a yawn
But to them I say I am no pawn

Like a trapeze artist between life and death
This uncertainty of outcome, torturous
This ambiguity in response, numbing
Greatness, I try in vain to churn
Ideas and thoughts, I felt burn
This theme abstract
This color’s in haze
My life in a maze


Is this what convicts felt?
Was this, they everyday dealt
In bars of law, are gaps
In written rules, are loop holes
Light has no bars
Convicts have no cars
Aloof from all reality
I grow wings and take on gravity
I have not distinguished myself
Neither in game nor crime
Neither in books or looks
I am you, one in crowd
I am you, none in mirror
