Long Thick as thieves Poems

Part Three

Whether or not relations with the uncultured enamour

As I woke from Slumber's bliss,

And I miss him deeply
Long to hear his voice
His casual remarks on how unsociable I am

Without this golden amber,
Not a world I’d like to see.

Every sip a luscious joy,
Food...

You can still come to the...

And took West Mountain Road.
My friend and I prefer that  way
Back there, where time has slowed.

Where cattle grazed in shade

Canvas of Catastrophe



An outcast portait of society
Public opinion timidly restrained
Descriptive world of psychotic anarchy
Borderline genius, brilliantly insane

Artificial imagined ancient discovery
Sacrificed human, silenced little lamb
Red drifted mist it's as thick as thieves
King of the Dead, Queen...

We drank, smoked, got higher in rank.

Fog thick as thieves reduces sight
Its white-gray silhouettes pine trees
Floating in moisture feels at ease

Slow misty drops drip dark as night
Coating all trees, shrubs, animals
This eerie scene quite tangible

avoiding any spill.
The rocks required some skill
to stay upright.

hid brambles, thick as thieves,
and roots, I do believe,
lurked out of sight.
