Last Dance
Walk into the kitchen
Table looming large,
Candles lined up neatly
Ready, set to charge,
Stumble to the kettle
Try to fill it up,
Mugs are at attention
Next to the ketchup.
And it's half past four
When you hit the floor,
Guess this is where the evening ends,
No last dance for you, my friend,
And your wake up call
Is a real pitfall,
Spiderman flies past my head,
Is this it? Are we both dead?
As I pour the coffee
Another flame goes out,
Mugs are disarrayed now
I'm missing with the spout,
Spoon is in the sugar
But it don't want to play,
Fucking stuff's all over
Some's in the ashtray.
And it's half past four
As you hit the floor,
Guess this is where the evening ends
No last dance for you, my friend,
Spiderman climbs
Up the kitchen blinds,
Who the fuck gave him a key?
Why's he here annoying me?
Over to the table
Pulling out a chair,
Trying not to spill it
Onto your sweet hair,
Another candle hisses
Comes as no surprise,
Army getting smaller
Fear is in their eyes.
And at half past four
When you hit the floor,
Knew that this was at the evenings end
No last dance for us my friend,
Dawn is breaking in across the sky,
We're still fucked, we're still high,
Spiderman is laughing from his place on the wall,
He's the last thing I see as I start to fall......

Man What Were You Smoking
David,
What the fuck was in that bowl you were smoking. Hell pass some over to me, seems to be some seriously good shit. Your imagery was definitely leaning towards the product of a very good buzz or a hyperactive imagination. Who cares?
Fun piece bro,
Pete
Thanks Pete
Had fun with this one!!!!
Dave
Yo David
Have you had a chance to read my piece titled "Bizarro", if not I think you should, you just might find it to your liking.

LOL!
great write, man, howd you come up with it?
Linda, rs...
Thank You Linda
I'm glad you enjoyed.
It was just one of those writes where the words just spilt out of me! Happens occasionally!!
It's a bit raw and probably rough round the edges to a lot of people, but that's pretty much how I like it, I don't tend to tamper with pieces too much! Maybe I should!!
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment,
Dave
Stay just the way you are!
Dave, Dont go fussing with your writes.
Raw and rough around the edges is so "real".
I like that alot!
I dont tamper with mine either. I just go for it!
keep them coming!!!
Linda
Raw
I like the raw feeling in this one Dave, and the randomness about it- 'spiderman is laughing...' I also see the lyrical nature to it, as it is an evident change from stanza 1 to 2. The first stanza actually reminded me of a 'Madness' type beat. I enjoyed it, and it makes for an interesting read.
Debs
Thank You Debs
Having read it back to myself, I can see that you're right, you can get a 'Madness' type beat to fit. It was actually a 'Fratelli's' type tune that I had in my head at the time, it's a bit slower and a pain in the arse as I can't get it out of my head now!! Ha ha.
I'm very pleased you like this piece, your comments are always appreciated, thank you,
Dave
