Ts Poetry Poet Dramatic Verse

Signs

Splitting hairs with dull knifes
dressed up in bad habits
life relegated to picture screens
unheard screams
darkened diners
beckoning candelabras and moonlit drives

no wax drips sealing secret treasure
grand Mal seizures
nor sacred visions

hands tied together
reckless, restless
begging for a night outside

I burned your picture last night
just to see you move
smoke illuminating
from those flashing signs

OPEN 24 HOURS

hidden behind the unlawful order

NO VACANCY

Lady Labyrinth April 28, 2020 at 6:35 PM "I burned your picture last night just to see you move smoke illuminating from those flashing signs"...LOVE IT. But this even better, "hidden behind the unlawful order - NO VACANCY". Dark, brooding and probably very dangerous, do not be fooled by what you see in the Light. Lady Labyrinth April 28, 2020 at 7:59 PM More like Morgana Pendragon/ Morgan le Fay. Very separate and unique individuals of course. Take your pick. Both "M" for short.
