Frill Praise Power
Frill Praise Power
fye revertive back to leash lore wanting to be real
the thrembling peace 'neath bubbling crest
of craven blued red steel
key phrased bowls, acquired souls, gathered in to reel
spoken truth of forded sooth yet comet offense to the keel
hovering thus in alibis and jailing heads down to the nails
an evanescent patchwork quilt leaving threads of bitter trails
a cribbling force of thumbed remorse wreathing graven pyre
poured out breath of dragon scale steeped in poisoned fire
no slain regret, no frozen pet, left played amongst the ashes
nor word beset, to wash the feet, of scoring chill eye lashes
