Myths

sorenbarrett

A melted dream runs down my eyes

in drips of a scented past

An echo of memory's velvet lies

painted a stain on shadows cast

 

A trembling of ripples shakes my skin

A breeze from the mind dries dark skies

Flush fresh sewage into a black pond of sin

wearing a bruised smile's disguise

 

Walking on Egyptian water

whispering willow through willow

A lamb to the slaughter

in a reed basket with a pillow

      A fine write SB.
      I'm awful towards KP, but you've given me an idea for her next dinner - 'fresh sewage'.
      Woof! Will you ever stop?' Fido asks me. lol.

        Make sure it's fresh if it's past its pull date it looses its nutritious value. Thanks Orchi
