Echo In Gloom

- Echo in Gloom- Lost in the dark bordello of doom Only a plop echoed in gloom Cathedral of crystal A cave become tomb The bats and the owls Hold the keys to these rooms As saline tears keep falling drop for drop Silently forming crystal chandeliers A quarter of an inch Over millions of years Spikes and thorns or bishops and pawns Decadently clothed defiantly posed Dare to expose challenging those Pillars of salt crusty old stalactites Formed by a river of tears Ladies of the night Silently drop - quietly stop Ploppity plop - ploppity plop
