A gossamer promise of infinite wisdom,
Spun tightly in silk for your own protection.
Rolls off the tongue like rich double cream,
Enticed beyond reason, living a dream.

Weaving a web in between lies and deceit,
Dangling there, constantly, just...

Premium Member Spring's Coming An Iou In Lieu
Slovenly winter's sojourn lingers, but dwindles away.
Petulant cold snaps, squalls and hail the exit price you pay.
