Demons Lie

Jerry Reynolds

 

Hope fills the mind

Like Quick-Silver

Seeking its kind

Beware–Demons lie

Sent to deliver

Soul’s in a pie

    Good write J.

    As a child I used to play with large balls of mercury and it does seem that they seek their own kind joining with bits and pieces to make a larger form. As of souls in a pie I have never had any that I am aware of. Soulful pie is about out of style with all the mom and pop restaurants gone out of business to give way to franchises. A good read Jerry

      Thanks, Soren. Soulful pie is hard to find for sure.

      Jerry, short but sharp, alchemy and warning in six lines. The mix of hope and hazard gives it real weight. Loved this dark spark, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

      • Jerry Reynolds

        Thanks, Tristan. Exploring hope and hazard is a lot of fun. The edge of comedy and tragedy.

        Probably fake silver is like the sparkle of nickel plating, which isn’t as durable as the real thing 🙏🏻🕊️

          Thanks, arqios. For the good words.

            I thought this might be highly serious until the corners of my mouth involuntarily reached for the sky .. So there you have it .. at least two truths so far Neville 😎👍👍

                Hope springs eternal.
                Well it does if you read the small print and don't get caught out.

                Yes the demons do keep lying and deceiving but the hope will keep filling up all the crevices of the mind. Good write
