Broken World
Broken World
When the lies were injected
into the veins of innocence
blue feathered quills
dipped their nibs
into the ink of golden stories
stalked by trolls
dragging their fountain tips of liquorice
like shining razor blades
blunt remarks stinging steel cold
biting rabid ripping up the fable
leaving their teeth marks
embedded in the skin of it all
drawing blood
staining the pristine dream
the ghosting ghouls
tried walking straight lines
down the centre of Truth’s road
they failed abysmally
blowflies feet forced first
to walk through honey, then butter
stopped in their gobsmacked tracks
Rossetti goblins
sold the dust
swept under rugs
in their idle markets
criminal minds blew dust
from the palms
of their imprisoned hands
into the faces of trust
gone blind
a mindmap to nowhere
in their nowhere land
Salvator Mundi
watches the eyes
of a war torn woman
in the mirror the eyes
remain the same
cold jade
cradling in her mind
a baby suspended
in a jar full of precious pearls
wisdom,
the jewels
are teeth
product of the wayward fey
hers for the child’s
without hesitation
she would pay forward,
for the child to keep
every night and day
every night and day
she opens the door
and shines a light
with an unreadable
Mona Lisa smile, tight
unseen, unheard
too soon to tell
which way the day
the sun still shines
through the tears of rain
the girl
not lost
the mother
watches on
day by day
silently
steadfast, strong
removing herself
bit by bit
from a broken World
the mouth is silenced
the story stitched
from the deepest velvet dark
and gossamer light
ultra violet
breaks
unanswered questions
answered knowledgeably
dancing between the lines
written by hand
tearing up the storm clouds
in the heart
an overflowing dam
bleeding life energy
sliding piquant notes
along an angel’s zither
from the dormant forgotten
rainbow’s rays
feet of angels dance
singing from the promise
of a baby’s crying breath
the Blue Faery
whispering love
in hidden secrets
planted for understanding
in another’s world
in another's day
