Salisbury City

ShannonXx

Salisbury City 

A wonderful place

Authentic

Awfully pretty 

Lounged outside

A summer scene 

Flowers blooming 

The sun facing me 

Shorts

A bikini top

Vulnerable 

For everyone to see

The heat indulging me

Oil surfacing on my skin

With a Cathedral sat in front of me 

Burnt lungs 

With a charcoal stain 

Liver covered in acid

Slowly wasting away

City boys give me a wink

A summer romance in the mist

Friends by my side

Sunglasses hiding our eyes

With old fashioned buildings resting behind

This place is home

Where memories will keep

A place you will always find me

    It's been a long time since I was in Salisbury - as an artist whenever I think of the Cathedral I think of Constable - great write Shannon.

    • ShannonXx

      Aww thank you

    • orchidee

      I've a slight link with the current Bishop of Salisbury. He was once a Vicar at a London church that I visited a couple of times. Though I don't live in Salisbury or London!
      Am I 'in' with the house of Lords, and their waffle?! heehee.

        Before I retired I worked for a computer software company and part of my job was to install our software on Council computers and Salisbury Council was one I used to help. I never did get a chance to look around the city which was a shame.
        Good write.
