Silence Felled Lurking in dark corners The swamp stirs in the night As the deceiver rises Begging to share his illusions might Only behind the veil Does he let his murky words sail Deceiving the lady of the house While he runs like a little mouse He drinks a mans ale Then double crosses once stale Armies can’t fight the silent one He hides in the corners of your mind Draw blood with your pen Let him flow towards the hither end The skeleton can’t do much with his quill Stabbed of his devious will

Hello Arthur, This verse is truly superb!! Very descriptive imagery which exudes a very subtle and powerful metaphorical picture. I believe Silent One would like this one immensely. I know I do. A FAVE!! Cheers and Best, Gary
