To The Manor Born

aDarkerMind



to the manor born

through avenging bone-clouds crisp as blighty's air

the watching heads of horseshoe sparks Trafalgar Square to flame

six-two-and-even,

pennys for the old guys flicking spyglass to the porcelain

burns brandy hot on the tail of tricks to flower hell and ball;

to the bawl of creeping concrete

comes grace devine as cateracts in the peering eyes of nomad

(from saharas' streets of grassland, now

in roots of nile as dead as light upended)

to the punch-drunk raven walking on his ears

lacing coffee boots for the street whores in their sunday vests

four letters full, all spelt as love

their dovetail joints once blonde, now brown as his?

to the manor, born and bred

for pumpkin pie in hunchback park

with croup cough bark no blanket leaves can heal;

steel thunder runs as gallops eyes

through my bitter brain of tortilla wraps of anger.

holly green in comfort meat

still in love with the hearts that i sleep with?

how can i breathe,

with these hearts that breathe no more?

    maybe not useless...insightful perhaps;
    many thanks;

  • L. B. Mek

    'to the bawl of creeping concrete
    comes grace devine
    as cateracts in the peering eyes'

    'to the manor, born and bred
    for pumpkin pie
    in hunchback park
    with croup cough bark,
    no blanket leaves can heal;'..
    simply, Brilliant
    (what A Talent!)
    thank you for sharing, dear Poet
