inspiration!

the ancient grey faces

of a thousand fallen angels

roll around in my glass skull

like metaphysical gumballs

 

my pen dances to the darkness

like a midnight owl

with a bellyful of plump

field mice

 

without warning,

the old iron machinery

roars to life

 

nothing beautiful

will survive the onslaught

 

          except you

Of and on writing...beautiful. Surreal and dark descriptions even in something of this topic...well done! Love the glass skull and gumballs...excellent image.

Somehow while reading this, my mind flashed back to a movie I saw when I was young titled Secrets of NIMH or something like that...ah, memories. :)

Love these lines: the ancient grey faces
of a thousand fallen angels
roll around in my glass skull
like metaphysical gumballs



my pen dances to the darkness

like a midnight owl
and so we write.....

there's a world full of 'youze' out there who will find safety behind this exception...that 'bellyful of plump field mice' put a smile on my face

[Jūdan FyreHeart]

Very nicely done. Great, dark, stark and sharp images. The ending packed the perfect punch.
