Falling down to a bed of rose petals A stench of death rolled off my fingers Drinking honey from bees sweet nectar But it wasn't free of all the stingers Taking to the bed of soft rose petals And drinking a sour concocted brew I watched good friend David Letterman Until my eyes turned a crimson hue I locked the door to my confinement A self imprisonment self imposing With the angel of death and friends around me We napped as the fire kept us dozing After great times of this abandon In spring while walking down the Thames No I have not been to California And as to England I feel the same I glimpsed a girl who was my maiden She was milking cows off in the stable To my boss I said as I woke this morn I will come to work if I feel able |

hmmm, well I never feel able to go to work LoL, unless the work includes horses but thats another story......and living in California myself.....er nevermind, forget what I was saying. Great poem! Did Jesus laugh? I think He did, 'cause He was once a little kid; and all of us were made with joy both sugar-spice girl and snake-snail boy! |

Just like you said it's way out there  Good one way cool to The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Hello again...and nope, it's not about a "booger" as you call it. (I can not believe I just wrote that) Another ponder, ponder poem. But, I thoroughly enjoy a poem you have to read more than once to gain the taste of it. Well done! (er...nice boogie?) Passions (eeeks, I did it again!) |
