I haven't submitted anything for a long while, been caught up in personal drama. Spider-drops His pilgrimage to the heart, beneath veiny cloudburst Periwinkle art; the skies satiated thirst. Nestled alone while spiders pass. They dance and coil in emerald grass. His soul trickles over like the clouds giving way. The soliloquy is cued; his part he will play. Empty and vacuous Though spiders remain Shell and husk; valueless Vacancy and disdain. So they begin, with strands Soon tendrils and bands Until their eight legs Clinking lightly on his soul Have woven him whole It’s a fragile, swollen package Too much heat can denature Or the cold, he cannot gauge Can split; rupture; fracture The beginnings of innuendo Bleed into a lacklustre finish Observing passions diminuendo As lovers dimensions diminish Clutched to his faith Ghost whispering to a wraith Sipping from his wilted garden Allowing his heart to set; harden. Ebbing all those autumn shades But memories resonance Never quite fades. |

The beginnings of innuendo Bleed into a lacklustre finish Observing passions diminuendo As lovers dimensions diminish ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is so much to like about this, you weave a nice web and spin so much emotion. What I find most effective is you stay true to the spider....wow, really nice writing. |
