The Mausoleum of Seculars Dreams

Crooked teeth upon rotting smiles.... Bearing their canines for the throne to behold The petrified flesh of these fruits they share Decomposing souls, which might have once been Had they ever learned? Had they ever known? Caught within these crowds of invisible things Chasing leviathans Loch Ness dreams.... While the martyred they cry for the countless ones And the Angels prepare, their chariots but still These ferocious tongues that fill the forest with fires Of wanton visions, within the mausoleums of their own Identities, reflecting from a reflectless mirror, carry on.... But their hourglass of opportunity is soon to run dry The thorns among the flowers of Heavens child While the swords are sheathed, and the horses are bridled Clutching, onto their last bit of dust, and unaware Had they only heard? Had they only understood? These crooked teeth upon their rotting smiles An end, to the victorious vile...."Within" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The mausoleum, of seculars dreams!

John, I hope this finds you well. Another powerful and deep write from your pen here. Like Christie, even though I may not fully understand your meaning, I enjoy reading these moving writes and I always see the light of Christ in all your words. Until we meet again, I will leave you with this passage which felt to fit with this piece. (Ezekiel 21:28-32) Love and peace to you, always, dear John. Love, Robin

Deep and very deep!! I would love to have an insight on it and maybe then I'll write to you what I have been thinking! Nevertheless, these are great words indeed and very attractive! Love to you, Chitra
