Fanned cool by feathers Angel wind or demon leather, What price the breeze? Spoken to too loud Singular or in a boorish crowd What price the words? Passion of the flesh Gentle or in massive harsh crush What price the touch? Taken for a fool Comedy or a single use tool What price the joke? Forgotten in the wake, Casual or a by design make What price the thought? I’ve lost my coins for paying And I’ve no desire for playing When it’s emotion that’s slaying And there’s no hope to staying. I’ll just freeze from lacking desire, Cool the embers of inner fire, From the stoking I now tire Never hope or again aspire, Just to become a forgotten one My heartstrings all to be undone Untied falling limp not to strum Nothing to amuse and none for fun. No reason to search out the light, Just silent aching in the night. Gloom Thanks to Serenity for the inspiration |

Thank you, Serenity Your words are kind, I speak just one language, Although I’ve attempted others and failed, It’s just the shade of English I speak well, Like always it comes from my Karma, Deep dark and shadowed. Gloom |
