Softly torn

sorenbarrett

A bed of roses has many thorns
One can break one's teeth on a silver spoon
A sacred cow still has horns
Earthquakes caused by tidal pull of a full moon

 

Floating on a cloud of lightning
In the pink, cut down to the quick
Top of the world the fall frightening
On a roll, motion makes me sick

        Does the style of that old darker mind haunt your scripture ?

        • sorenbarrett

          I burned the scriptures years ago as a precaution against witchcraft. Thanks for the read my friend it is most appreciated.

          Soren, what a powerful piece. From roses to silver spoons to that uneasy ride at the end, it all feels like a reminder that every high carries its own risk and every comfort has its edge. That's a truth I've bumped into more than once myself. Really enjoyed this, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            Seems theres always a down side to every Up.
            Or Vise Versa. All works out the same.

              The world is moving too fast for me now. It’s all I can do to hang on and catch a glimpse of what isn’t truly mine.

              • sorenbarrett
