7th of the 7th

Sunblazed windows scatter light
Joylessly about
Impervious
To It's intentions

The Shadow stirs the air
And moves unseen across
The darkest street
Melting heat

With eyes framed
So dark
You feel them tear
Right through your heart

And the light...

The door opens a wave of sound
Cutlery and me
And Darkness' choice
Is Table Seven

As he slides across the room
Heavy is his walk
But set
Is his way

Embraced by Death
Abandoned by God
He just waits
As he hides

From the Light...

I wrote this song a long time before 7 - 7. The actual title of the song is "Wrong Time Wrong Place", which I will be performing tonight for the last time on stage ( in Twickenham ).

excellent poem, Eben- nogal sinister dat jy dit geskryf het voor die 7e.. wonderlik hoe jy die spanning deurgaans gehou het, soos 'n thin thread
