See the king in his cardboard castle
beneath his bridge of broken dreams
by the river of remorsefulness
that like the voices nightly screams
There's a beer can full of memories
and a burger full of death
and the things he thought he'd ougth to say
dangling from his breath
theirs stains upon his royal garb
that show just where he's been
and an emptiness within his eyes
that hide the things he's seen
his queen lies in her carriage
amongst her treasure so
and he wheels her round the city
when the lamp lights softly glow
Nobody ever sees them
nobody even cares
for the royals in their boxes
watching operas without airs
spare them not a second thought
as if you even would
for they have found each other
and a palace by the wood
they care not if you see them
as their lives a faery tale
in their kingdom made of cardboard
eating pizza three days stale
From a line by angelofprofanity from their poem In this world their permission sought and granted thanks Angel.
Green pants and orange shirt...

What!

Are you mad?


Yes...
Certifiable to be exact but hey at least I've got an excuse what's yours mr fashionista
You lie there sleeping...

your dreams
exhaled in sweet whispered breaths

for my ears alone
to hear

for my heart alone
to know

I kiss your restless eyes
and taste for just one moment

The welcome arms of sleep.

Dream a dream for me my love
and chase away
this night


and my insomnia

that offers me such sweet respite

to watch you once more
my love

softly

sleeping.
You put your ring on me
and made me
yours
Winning a goldfish at the fair by throwing a ring over the bowl
Even when I call you names

you still
love

Me
To Tansy and Molly my two faithful little doggies
I'd rather tear out my eyes

than
see you


leave.
There's a man in the mirror

wearing my face...


backwards.
He looks like me but is he me because he wears my smile on the wrong side of his face.
Saw him shaving...


his throat

B A R E D

to
my razors


BLADE.
He just stood there staring blankly back at me from my bathroom mirror
Spring

shakes off
winters late advances

to flirt
with summer.
Are squirrels car mechanics?

As they steal
nuts


and bolts
Word play at the end lol
