days of meh

days of meh / gutter writing / a scent of sewage / ‘tween pages / Days of joy! / Pulitzer prizes! / Bling! Bling! / Going places! / then shaking / sweating / the cellar dark / the rats nibbling / on pages wet / on pages smelling / another night / has finally ended

SILENCE TALKING

circle-no-10:

The language of my dreams

is Silence

Muted colours flickering

among Shadows

Mist and mostly

twilight fills the

Path of Righteousness

without knowing

if it is me walking

or the Silence

talking

I carry my swords / across the Pampas / I carry my swords / across the seven seas / I carry my swords / across the heavens / in search of freedom / in search of peace
