a more amicable approach.
hyacinth. leather on a tongue.
seven days and still the curtains sleep.
high above. beyond the lakes reprieve
stirring clouds once ripples on a stream
now stand erect. powerful yet bleak;
once more the dancing cinnamon and jade
circles with anthology of rhyme.
here with heavens crossbow
silence comes and breeds it's summer flies;
infamy now laced with muzzled hands.
days end. ravaged. out of date;
no energy for change.
each good mouth smiles
beyond the sleeping willow where I lie.
as white as frost
delicate. naive;
for what seems to believe. it isn't so;
how many times must sorrow fall as rain?
when the good wine comes
comes godliness more brighter than the sun.
brighter than the twelfth night of despair;
bound by light.
profanity alone will not succeed;
a world at war.
innocence and guilt.
an outside world
deliberate; disguised;
in the image of eternal sleep
deaf dumb and plagiarised;

Superb work. Your use of language and imagery is tremendous. I'm reminded of Neruda. You paint the scene well.
