The Game Is Finally Over

I can feel my spirit crying 
And I can tell that someone is dying
I can feel my spirit crying 
When a special tear drop from my eyes
It is not a tear of worry,
Neither is it a tear of anxiety
It is not a tear of pain
And it is not a tear of shame
It is not the tear that flows when you are sad
It is a tear that runs deep
When I am connected to the Gods
It is not emotional and it is not sensual
It is the tear that atomically flow
When the Gods wants me to glow
They are in touch with my heart beat 
And they know when my spirit is deep
This tear only flow once to remind me that
The Gods have not forgotten me
I stand aloof in the midths of it
But deep down I know that I can handle it
It is the silent war that is going on outside
That is targeted to capture the pinnacle of my mind
And I said to myself what I have to do with this?
Yet I am caught up in the middle of it
A sudden chance a sudden dance
And I just cannot understand it
I only have my eyes set on you
So I changed the tune before noon 
To see the sunset on the mountain
And went back where it all began
From the very moment I saw you
Standing behind the podium
There was something special about you
It was courage that resonated in your voice
And your cool spirit that made me rejoice
And stirred the emotion in me
The sternness, the boldness 
And the power in your feet 
That made me wants to leap
And when you got beaten up
I did not fuss because I know
that you  would come back fired up
They say that the wicked man is dead
 that was stealing my bread
But I know for sure that the woman is still alive
And occupies the highest position in the sky
I always feel connected to your soul 
And it keeps moving around with me everywhere I go
This attachment is very deep 
and sometimes I feel complete
The common man cannot understand exactly where I stand
I am here and you are somewhere in Maidenhead 
Cursing on the bank of the river Thames 
Watching the night sky  
As the stars make their final début in the marriage bed
 I am feeling hot and water is dripping from my back
I am patiently waiting to share this precious moment 
When I get a chance to meet with you
Prince and princesses adorn in gold
Duke and Duchess sitting upon the throne
And I am millions of miles away from you
I waited all summer and you did not come
And now I am getting ready to run
Christmas did nothing for me 
But bring pardon and victory for many
 And that alone made me happy
I had ice-mint for my Christmas dinner
And cherries for my evening supper
And it kept my spirit from getting cold
I can still feel my spirit crying
And the birds are out flying
I am still in a penitent mood
As the noisy traffic parade up and down the street
The New Year’s crowd is just strolling in, 
Waiting on heaven to greet them with a grin
I am trying to get into the mood but you are not here
Only if you could just come out of the closet
The world would join hands with you
Where are you today? 
In London or maidenhead
New York or California 
All these questions keep going around in my head
Everything has been dry all summer
And all the signs and symbol I saw
Throughout my Journey
has a message wrapped up for you
How can I go to maidenhead? 
When someone else is in my bed?
I thought the game was over 
And you were coming to meet me this summer
I saw the sunflower on someone’s attire 
The last day you made your final speech in parliment
I knew that you were coming into the strong heat
I waited and I waited for mission to complete
But you did come and I could not have fun
Everyone else were body double, 
Harassers, mockers, and scorners
I don’t know them I have never met them 
and I have never spoken to them
 I have never slept in their bed
All my focus was on you
 And I will not have peace until I meet you
Twenty nineteen is almost over 
And I am anticipating a new beginning
Come and visit me in Jamaica before I move over
That would be my best New Year’s Gift
The game is finally over
