 Spanish Moss Deep, buried deep down, dark, dank, unforgiving ground musty leaves and Spanish moss mourn where once a love was e’er born a treasured chest buried deep down, where thoughts now ne’er roam. Within cavernous wood and rusted green ironed lock lie undisturbed a pink silk, memory of young girl’s frock, linen doll, some lonesome keys; lies in dank veiled heart’s mystery. Came the razing of this land, hands uncovering treasured chest, left alone after loss of lover shed now of its dark, cold cover discounted moments unburied now come again in grip of sunlight’s vow. For sunlight saw forbidden love beneath the lace of Spanish moss, tears had fallen, curses heard, then treasured chest was tossed buried deep down, dark, dank, ground Spanish moss whispers a mourning sound. Perhaps a hundred or more years ago a lover lost, in grief despaired so; then treasured chest carried there to be buried deep, dark, bereft of air; her silvery shadows wear the lace of Spanish moss that covers her face once, a loveless love was born now only Spanish moss will mourn. 17 January, 2000 ©KRJ revised 31 October 2001 |
