Fruitless.

By Dancing_Monkey

Freely she entered my free flow fantasy
Sleeping on the shores of my symbol, to be washed away
By the tide of time
Honesty crush; Bending every inner hope
Lupine divinity unmasks the harlequin
One day flawless passed before me, the scent of dawn
Static insomnia, the scar to seal.

The length of my disillusion
Into the mist majestic eyes.

From damnation; delicate decadence
Seduction stands before you, the drumstick breach
Ripples banned, prefect submit
Transcript, confusing gaze
The seal of Anubis

    This post shows some serious poetic skill, your imagery is impeccable and flourishing throughout...it is strangely calming, relaxing in some way to read it...you have a true talent for portraying your emotions in a way that makes the reader feel it; as this is one of the main and ever-elusive goals of poets, I can't think of a greater compliment to give...Brilliant post -NN
