BRIAN & ANGELA

DESOLATION THREE ~ A Sonnet

The scene and stench in the room was INFERNAL

The four people who sat round the table were long dead

Decaying and partially eaten by rats and insects 

I retched and backed out horrified ~ Despairing of ever

Seeing my Sisters Paula and and Luna again ~ I pressed

My Horse forward ~ sobbing with a very heavy heart !

 

Ahead of me there seemed to be a large Castle ~ with some

Signs of Human Activity.  This gave me some hope as I entered.

Everyone looked sick and emaciated and there was an \"Air of Death\"

I screamed out my Sisters names P A U L A ~ L U N A ~ PAULA LUNA

An emaciated old man  croaked ~ YES ~ they are in the kitchen !

Wen they saw me they screamed  B O N N O ~ B O N N O ~ you have come !

 

They were thin ~ old ~ but ALIVE ~ We caressed and wept for joy !  There was cart

I bundled them in ~ hitched my horse and drove like HELL to CIVILISATION !

 

Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ this is the last SAGA ~ Love BRIAN (BONNO)
