Valley Of The Dolls
I wrote this after suffering
from writer's block.
Good to be back at BLOOP! :-)
Valley Of The Dolls
At night I line up
all my dreams
where it's been
a thousand years
since I was a doll
standing still
on emerald grasses
counting the platinum stars.
I'm spending
my silver
in valleys of diamond
but inkless tea
is turning
my teeth black
and I can't fathom
this sparkling depth
of insane twilight.
If only I can relinquish
the nectars
of my mythologies
like white lilacs
of pink pearl
banishing demons
from my moonless mind..
but everafter
doesn't seem possible
when being bled
by bloods
of blank circumstance;
it's much easier
to stare
at the sky
than live
in the rumble
of its thunder.
