Blood Upon the 'Morrow

What holy crown will twine
around the serpent's head
great slouching shoulders turned
draw back my head and wonder 'pon
the wisdom of the world.

Take my hand between those mountains
bring up to the beginning
mighty cawing
mulberry smiles
it is not enough to prove.

These promises are whispered
through dripping pointed teeth
with blood upon the 'morrow
how can you possibly sleep?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
