A Lilly in the Vale
A lily in the vale
('twixt high plain and knoll),
did I in a blessing
meet upon a trail
a flower amongst flowers
in free-spirited milieu
blood dripping carnations
bidding ancestry adieux
leaving weeping black violet
striped wounds upon her soul
A delightful beauty
alighting on the shore
desire called to duty
courage opening the door
countenance kind smiling
in love's equinox shadow
where sands of rhyme
and sweeping time
into life's mem'ries flow;
too soon eroding youth's reflexes
love lost in the labyrinth of senses
jaded by malice and malcontent
ardor aided without consent
where malaise triggered maggots
masticate blind bias
fears fan a flaming
ill conceiving banal virus
scratching scab gagged secrets
oozing empathy
enfeebling the spirit
unbeaten and pious
Consciousness strata
protest anarchy
layered in love
entombed and unserved
thought stream robbers
invading intention
pillage the mind cellar's most treasured reserves
garden adorned ravaged
of sweet fragrant riches
coup d'état of the heart
slain languishing art
entraining aspirant dreams flooding ditches
Overthrown kingdom
cleansing genocide's journey
of emotional tsunamis and cultural betrayal
relentless army wielding earthly rations
disrupting peace, assaulting senses
teeth gnashing troops arousing false passions
Ruthless ruler
Unquenching thirst
Insatiable urges
Imposter of truth
Hater of harmony
Killer of chemistry
Carnal concupiscent
Scorpion queen ego
of avarice and greed
should wisdom take heed:
"Look not upon life
as an assailing threat
holding as ransom
joy to express
for spaceless and timeless
are yours never to own
solely in souls are these mysteries known
and best left for the follower of fools to guess
Escaping loneliness is your bequeathed quest
imprisoned in nature as her unwelcome guest
So acquiesce gently then
humbly concede;
Allow wonder
to water the blossoming seed
within
assume gladly your sentient throne
and nevermore with I shall we feel alone"
('twixt high plain and knoll), did I in a blessing meet upon a trail A flower amongst flowers in free-spirited milieu blood dripping carnations bidding ancestry adieux
