Private High-Hedged Homes


Private High-Hedged Homes
By: Husam (Sam) Salman
 
Sparsely attended periwig towers mirroring lives in private high hedged homes
Untouched by the fettered morning of common mundane men – in light before work
Unaffected by noon’s gaze of blankly staring at clocks to take breaks – boss permitting
Sleep your mid-day resurrection while we, the meek and meager toil unwaveringly
Ruse of Satin, house of glass, no one is tending to your order.
 
Where have the years gone, in this ache my troubles bring
In my moon shadow lit home upon the rocks, and you…so well lit in The Hills
Worlds may collide, but reluctance to see eye to eye, prevents humanity
 And Firmaments of mind create reason to stay, coaxed by dollars worth
Tiara strident siren tortures with vanity and pride, my scepter drops
Senators surrender morals and value for $upport and vote$
Silent, they sway tides of nation and trend, from peace to pleasure
Where enough NEVER ends.
 
 
Safe in their Alabaster Chambers -
Untouched by Morning - 
and untouched by noon -
Sleep the meek members of the Resurrection, 
Rafter of Satin and Roof of Stone - 
 
Grand go the Years, 
In the Crescent above them -
Worlds scoop their Arcs - 
and Firmaments - row -
Diadems - drop -
And Doges surrender -
Soundless as Dots, 
On a Disk of Snow.
Safe in their Alabaster Chambers -
Untouched by Morning - 
and untouched by noon -
Sleep the meek members of the Resurrection, 
Rafter of Satin and Roof of Stone - 
 
Grand go the Years, 
In the Crescent above them -
Worlds scoop their Arcs - 
and Firmaments - row -
Diadems - drop -
And Doges surrender -
Soundless as Dots, 
On a Disk of Snow.
Safe in their Alabaster Chambers -
Untouched by Morning - 
and untouched by noon -
Sleep the meek members of the Resurrection, 
Rafter of Satin and Roof of Stone - 
 
Grand go the Years, 
In the Crescent above them -
Worlds scoop their Arcs - 
and Firmaments - row -
Diadems - drop -
And Doges surrender -
Soundless as Dots, 
On a Disk of Snow.
