Going Going Gone

I own a shop within my mind That sells spare parts when I'm so inclined My rational like a junkyard heap Of twisted thoughts I cannot weep A quick fix for a festered soul I've a plastic widget made of gold And beneath that heap there is a well So dark So deep I cannot tell For in this well I threw my heart So battered and bruised It will not start I lays in there all shriveled and cold This well Is dry and very old I decided to sell this shop of mine With saline drops this well I shall prime And float my heart and cleanse my mind.

Thank you Skat for your kind words and warm welcome. I must confess that I had expected to be criticized and was reluctant to share. Thank you again, you are too kind. I will be certain to read your work and be in touch. Daniel
