one on one

aDarkerMind



one on one

no bars erect enough.

this blank stampede

bugged and bare

heirloom and constant bramble

flickers eye one century of wood;

astonishment hymns weed

songstress of tumour

hanging from a chord

in costume green enough

to pleasure craft and passengers unseen;

the brooding dark of pregnant anagram

spells unwise a penny for the guy

turning bright his harpsicord and flute

aloof beyond austere to sanctuary;

safe-haven with a pencils frown

etched on glass

more striking than a curse;

this curious sublime

of anecdotes from the smiling tongue of death

licks clean it's torso

dull but beautiful;

profound cuisine

eating with a Liger in a stream

chewing gristles fibre on a cabaret of thought

dancing with the arrows of distraught

piercing ears and the yellow of our eyes;

one on one

home comforts in a box.

a flame of teething whisky

a Highland cigarette

my reason for insanity

I haven't found it yet;
