Whatever the hell this means

Feng shui chimes remind me of lost and disappearing times
Half a clock tells me time is petty like petty crimes
the minute mocks and mimes, she said
the minute mocks and mimes, she said

Mosquitoes like jailbirds wave to me from the window glass
Now I remember, I wanted to be but was never topooftheclass
be strong glint like brass, she said
be strong glint like brass, she said

Calendars beat the air, their pages fluttering and shouting
The tubelight holds the night, but then months are turning
light the lamp and pray, she said
light the lamp and pray, she said

In the instant of a blink years have been evading and passing
Where was I where was I where was I when all this was ensuing
you rave and rant, pray she said
you rave and rant, pray she said

I cant I cant
I recant I recant

First time here
There shall be more
The words invite
And I fall prey
I suspect I'll walk
Again down this way..

Lo:
Behold, here's Lo. And my joy goes high.(whatever the hell that means)

Alien:
The words invite
So do I.
Partake partake
In my disquiet.

oh, you had me at chocolate!
" keep pace with time " sometime, somewhere you said that. reasons are many yet your struggle humors me much. almost as though it pleases me quite slightly to see some stranger suffes from the same parameter called time as i do.

if only time were petty like petty crimes
we wouldn't be wishing for better times
it slots us all, one time or the other
casting aside all rational metre, rhythm, or rhyme...


whatever the hell it means! lol :)

hi ravali:
thanks a ton for dropping in and becoming happy at my misery! So chocolate for you. I am kidding. I am kidding. I say that after every sentence to all sensitive college students and I said that twice to kill some more time

hi poetess:

i wish time would slot me some other time
i wish i was back in my prime
or maybe go ahead of time
and collect my retirement dime
i wish someone bought me a milk chocolate
i wish the previous line would rhyme

(howzzat.
i get verse and verse
i get very verse)

oh madhavan,

if you are going to wish something, wish for dark chocolate.

ok so there was this one kind I ate once, they are called lindt's swiss thins. they are very thin sheets of dark chocolate. and you put them on your tougue and of gosh it melts. you will see heaven even before judgement day!
