    THE COUNTDOWN

    THE  COUNTDOWN

     

    Here I await with nervous anticipation

         The coming of the day

    when I’ll get my liberation.

     

    My heart is spinning…

         My insides are churning.

              Whatever I’m doing,

              I’m doing in automation.

     

    Ten…Nine… Eight… Seven.,,

              I’m counting the days.

              Will I ever see heaven?

     

    Six…Five… Four… Three …

              Will I, my Lord, ever be free?

        A miracle, oh Lord, please hear my plea !!!

     

    Heartbeats running havoc.

         I can’t seem to breathe.

        The sword of Damocles

        Seem to hang o’er my head.

     

    Time must have stopped …

        There isn’t any ticking…

        Or could have it been drowned

        By the drumming of my heart heat?

     

    Oh, God, please let me be free !

        The agony of waiting

        Is really killing me !!!

    Very nice...the sword of Damocles, that verse I liked very much, we all have that sword hanging over our head and waiting for it to fall, but will it bring you the peace you seek?

    when that sword cut the link to my ex... yes, it brought the peace i sought...lol!...

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
