Broken

Neville

 

Broken  

 

The night arrived on time

Dark and desperate

Descending sweet yet tainted  

Like black treacle

Cracked as old stained glass

Upon an empty table  

Pain weary and measured

In the weight of dried fruit and

Petals of flowers strewn  

Reed like tall and proud

Tho yesterday we were bowed

Seriously bent bruised and bled  

Twas then we ached aloud 

Broke eternal

Pon both linen sheet and cloud

      Streuth Neville this is a dark picture but oh my so beautifully painted/penned.

      Though i don't imply that you are a 'dark' minded personality, this is you at your best mate.

          • Neville

            Ha.. just goes to show my eyes are shot... I noticed that error straight after I had visited Goldfinch's post…
            believe it or not, I tried to edit out the mistake by cutting out the name.. which obviously failed.. maybe should have just deleted it.... Mind you, better than Andrea or summat x

            • Goldfinch60

              I AM ANDY!! Neville did you really want to cut me out?

              • Neville

                No.. not at all my friend... poor eyes and a new PC make for many such errors.. THis latest Windows n Word version have given me an adversion.. the worst ever to get ya head around.... Cheers Dave
