The cheater

The cheater

the old man sits alone in waiting 

Now past his hours of sleeping
thinking that sleep is like death in waiting next to him 

the bottle of rum becomes his strength to his awakeness...

he is alone ....
sad...
thoughts are his only companion ...afraid...scared ..broken all over even to his pockets 

wrinkles of skin as reminders of Love once Loved....
a wife ...
a life once lived...

memories of tears streams on fallen cheeks ...
as teeth less... drools
to lips of rum ...

He chatter to self of undistinguish words

the old man sings to songs ..so blues...to blue

the neighbours shouts ...to banging walls..

as he waits for dawn a sunlight to another day....

he thanks his lord....
he cheated death
again
to a drink of rum.
