Although the day is six feet under,
Your perfume in the air remains
And horses drag the fallen reins,--
Apollo's fallen into slumber.

Their hoofs are sticking to wet leaves,
The creaking carriage slowly rolls...
And no one warned the sleeping souls
That up ahead are rocks and reefs.

The blood is frozen in their veins
The night descends, their minds healing,
Cold corpses lie without feeling
And horses drag the fallen reins.

With frenzy throwing up the curtains
September rages, filled with spite...
My darling, let's turn off the light
We won’t awake the sleeping servants.

Master~
There is some fascinating ink in your quill ...
(and that's a compliment for sure !)

'Although the day is six feet under,
Your perfume in the air remains
And horses drag the fallen reins,--
Apollo's fallen into slumber.'

What a delight to peruse your thoughts.
