Smoke-filled Skies

Smoke-filled Skies


Demons fly
through smoke-filled skies.
Smoke from guns shots
will close those eyes.
Shots make lungs stop.
so hold those cries.
Knees lock then drop.
No good-byes.
Numb this hearts
and wipe that smile.
Smiles then flip flop
and dropped to frowns.
Emotions hit tip top.
after tears hit ground.
Flesh and dust will swap.
when box goes down.
Angels don’t fly
through smoke-filled skies.
Best friends seeks revenge
with fire in eyes.
Don’t tell cops nothing
hide inside lies.
Life change, gets strange
seeing friends die.
Mother still hurts tomorrow.
Brother not found.
He finds liquor bottle
and royals that crown.
Pours out then swallows.
Sorrows get drowned.
Pain remains and follows.
It’s always around.
Mother sees her son
looking at his baby sons face.
But he’s faced with a maybe
that his innocence may waste.
Baby’s mom, single lady
searching for a trace,
of hope when nights are rainy
desperate for a sunny break.
