Along the Road
Along the road I met a boy called Space,
His eyes as dark as a black hole spinning through emptiness,
His head as round as the Earth orbiting the Sun,
His hands burning and sizziling.
I met a man called Death,
He wore a black cloak as dark as your shadow,
His eyes burrowed into your soul reading every thought.
I met a girl called Pleasure,
In which her eyesight summoned satisfaction
And joy to whoever was fortunate to meet her;
A magnet in a world of steel.
I met a woman called Ice,
Her eyes like jagged daggers
Freezing your soul,
Her hands grasping into your heart,
Causing pain and unhappiness.
I met a boy called Time,
His fingers restless from fiddling with clock hands,
His head filled with precise clock numbers,
His body disarranged from travelling through time.
I met a girl called Plant,
Her hair a straggly bunch of weeds flowing and cascading down her back,
Her hands as rough and hard as tree roots,
And her eyes two blue forget-me-nots,
full of tears ready to flow.
