Under The Stairs

Under The Stairs

I listen to the sounds pounding my ears

Different beats either side under the stairs

Calling attention to soggy minds soaked in flair

Different brands for different strands but gin in my lair

Longing for a kiss, one appears in the loud mist

Resonating through my mind, smiling I will not resist

Happiness is that swirling point of a never ending twirl

It powers your day through the night like a rare jewel

But under the stairs reality cannot hide

I remember that dead cat on the roadside

Mother Nature at her bitch best

Intruding thought nonetheless passing the heartless test

One day I know I will find my lonely heart

She will be sublimely dancing in a world without hurt

It will be with the ease of sleep and the joy of vanilla ice cream

Under the stairs I dance for that inevitable chance
