Tunnel Of Love Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Getting crazy on the life I’ve choose
I’d been riding a train it goes
Where the passenger they slam and scream
Singing about sex blade of torture and shame
And I don’t know where I’ll be tonight
But you’ll know wherever my flight
They had ticket for the next ride like me I was
Victim of the long slept night under the sun-cuss
In a scream ring of faces the whole ban of man
And saw flashes standing in midst of old rugged train
I took of my silver the legacy of earth
Alas remember me this is my own brain-belt
I put it in my hand in my pocket crystalline
Thinking it would be the next kiss to be given
But long ago and am tunnel of love I asked
Astray so uncoil wearing the human masked
Yet people used to rest to feel they’ve blessed
Tunnel of love hold to miss not a single glance
Whatever it takes at least someone will stay
We are in the tunnel of love them say
Well tunnel or what love can be
Make a difference tunnel of love is for you and for me
Where we dig and dig without rest
to love and seek love
and to give pain and receive the same
