Canaries
Canaries
By LoLa
The afternath of crossing paths
The war that waged; our demons’ wrath
Our minds intwined in broken trust
The dawn of fall; a slave to lust
Weapons turn from phaser to stun
Countless trials we shouldn't have won
savagery done; just chasing a thrill
Searchingly seeking a reason to kill
Lovedrugs served to turn us cold
Injected fates for prayers to hold
The light

Calculating Canaries
So many numbers
Being tossed around~
And all I am counting is
Missing colour and sound

Canaries of a Jagged Mind
A bouquet of canaries came calling.
A yellow rose quartette.
They expected nothing, just sweetly sang.
Preened the pangs of life away.
They were just looking for a place to rest.
The had been flushed from the hills and valleys.
but never did they once complain.
Life continued on.
With days and nights of water colored nonchalance.
After some time,
I noticed their plumage

There are parakeets
and canaries flying here.
Gone from the pet shop,
they have escaped their prison
and are free to fly the sky.

Pair of Canaries
PAIR OF CANARIES
Gilt twins winging
Through sunlight streams
In their window at home
Filling their golden yellow days.
Spring and swing
A tiny jump not far from the other
Bounce along the perch, follow close,
And neck rubs neck.
Twittering their timeless melodies
Through the window from their world
Of wires and mirrors glittering
Light music in the sun.
Sharing water

Canaries
Melodic voices
rise in perfect harmony,
Canaries singing
The canaries songs fill the air.
You can't help but smile when you hear them.
To wake up to their singing fills a persons soul with joy.
Melodic voices bringing a perfect start to my day.

Canaries In a Mine
Kisses from insolvent grave,
Stole the dying breath away
So dizzyingly fast,
It escaped as fleeting vapour;
The hackles bristled, raised,
Clouds of ink on sunny days,
As scratching quills engraved
Upon white paper
Who among the sprawl could feel
If it was or wasn’t real,
The secret of the dream
Beyond the ruffle of the curtain?
Beggar soup and furtive fate
And how long we
