My billet

sorenbarrett

My bed of thorns and blanket of briars

A berth for my bones, baptizes in fire

Twisting in tormented slumber sublime

Where ablaze in the flames of dreams divine

A blasted body, broken and bruised

Pain pays the price of promises recused

    We do seem to make our own beds, whatever the price we pay. A most thought provoking write my friend.

      Thank you Bella for your reading of this piece. Yes we often do make the bed we lay in.
