Ending 1997 in the Southern Hemisphere

Member since 2002 · Posted 17 May 2003 · 1 comment

It came and went away, that summer. To the wind whimsical ways under the sun perspired on the sanded dunes. In the silent time of all that was now in dark and needy mire, once again to find a solitude in quiet keys and wander into memories now shelved folded in upon themselves. There's a promise gave, which is given to the quiet self to live again.

Ending 1897 in the Southern Bumisphere (Free verse) by -=Dark_Angel=-

It came and went away,
but I'll always remember that time I broke wind
musical gays plunder the bum
inspired by its brownful tunes.
In the violent aftermath of forgotten dreams,
now lost in the dark stench of human frailty and massively fermented scotch egglingtons,
once again I find solitude
as peasants flee vomitting,
smothering their gnarled faces with napkins
folded in upon themselves.
There's a promise gave,
which is given to the quiet self,
to replace my underpants as soon as possible.
