Forest Rabbit Crown Soft Stone

Forest Rabbit Crown Soft Stone

Was the name she introduced

On that candle light bright night

Where dreams were all self-produced

 

Desert Lion Hat Rough Silk

Was the name we all had guessed

For her stars were drowned in milk

Yet her sun in black was dressed

 

Those you hear were the words

In which I painted your ghost

Now that time has tuned my chords

Could I risk your nameless boast?

 

It is said that no one goes

Twice to a candle burnt place

But my disobedient toes

Bless the splendor of your grace

 

It was also said by me

To your pleb in a bus stop

‘Boy, I wish my blind heart plea

Would stop bleeding candle drops’

 

But a house is not a home

When a candle light tight fight

Hurt’s your feet and you’re alone

And away fades that bright night

 

And you shot me all your eyes

In a cold and windy glance

As I caught heavy strange lies

On a loose dust-dated chance

 

Choke a dusty coin old face

Leave the light pleb’s old dry dream

In the splendor of your grace

Glitter on your self-side team

 

In a vision you abused

Desert Lion Hat Rough Silk

Claimed a rotten truth amused

Sun black dreams in wind cold milk

 

Your name is both true and fake

As a candle light bright night

Calls you in remember shake

this is fascinating. there are some amazing lines involved. the whole thing is mysterious. personally i feel it could be edited down as it does lag in places but thats not to take away from the achievement as its a really interesting piece.

In a vision you abused

Desert Lion Hat Rough Silk

Claimed a rotten truth amused

Sun black dreams in wind cold milk

and thats a great verse of poetry.
