Firework Blossoms
Fireworks blossom
In the back of my mind
I used to be able to see,
Fireworks blossom
Behind a child’s eyes.
Fireworks blossom
In my sleep
I used to be be able to see
Fireworks blossom
In my daydreams
Fireworks blossom
From the ink my pen
I used to be able to see
Fireworks blossom
In legends
Firework blossoms
In the back of my mind
I see them now
Firework blossoms
Behind Teenager’s eyes
Firework blossoms
And bleed
I see them now
Deep wounds
Puncturing youth
Firework blossoms
From the barrel of a gun
I see them now
As the innocent run
Firework blossoms
Up in the sky
And rain down bitterly
On those below
Firework blossoms
Top of the world!
I see them now
Casting sparks aside
Nobody can
Nobody will
Blow them out
The firework blossoms
Firework blossoms
Used to sprout from the ground
Blossoms echoing the sound
The sound of love
Of light, imagination
But thorny weeds
Sprouting from the sky
Fireworks begin to blossom
And echo cries
Firework blossoms
Sprout from unexpected places
Painting pained tears
Gentle on their faces
And echo in their tears and eyes
Firework blossoms
Firework blossoms
Resign to colors
Of grim mission
Colors which echo with dreaded boom
Fireworks blossom
Firework blossoms,
In cold flashes
Of silver and gold
And red, crimson,
Crimson red.
Firework blossoms
Crimson red.
I used to be able to see
Firework blossoms
Behind a child’s eyes.
