"The Well of Tender Moorings"



Deep as the coolest deep dark well
Seeking sanctuary in thy fathomless ocean,
The immaculate buoyant waters of thy untamed soul

To note the difference ‘tween  fantasy and or the surreal
Take heed for what I say ‘tis truth unclothed before thee

Where was Solomon when a man wanted his property and so did she
And there...

Tomorrow might mean angel day
To be followed by one angelic night
Tomorrow I may view an angel’s display
A dais of delectable delight 

I can never be certain when she will alight
