I sharpened my teeth against the whetstone that was you you; showed me the strength of words in your soliloquy of past demons and magnificent mystification you co-opted destruction out of tranquility it was your other place the place of felonious intent I was led I was no naïve adolescent but your unending fire of passion with cleaving questions and oh, my how you constructed those questions demons made it a point to bivouac there clinging, forever clinging as did those who came before me I gnawed on the root of the procellous' tempest and succumbed wholly, totality and forever into your underground where you ripped the sleep from my soul I lived within your shadowy world stapled by your written words I'm lost forever inside the shards of your yesterday's dawn ©August 15, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (08-15-2012 05:49 PM).] |
