A Bitter Spree

Pale turned the bow that 
blest the sky
all that was blue at dusk... 
did fly,
my mind is blurred and 
now I cry:
the mud is dry, the mud is 
dry.

Hope was lost within isles 
and hills
the water splatters on me 
hot chills
felt in a rush, craving 
pleasure pills:
my passion distils, my 
passion distils.

In this cruise, I seek but a 
lake,
to be cocooned like 
hotcake,
yet not sure of what is at 
stake;
give me a brake, give me a 
brake. 

The dawn threw in a bait, 
now I see
my heart was hooked by a 
bee;
sweetness exhaled, bitter 
spree
under the tree, under the 
tree.
