Vaguely fading
A harmless exercise in doggerel.

This item has no ratings.
Vaguely fading dreams drifting
pale horses, snowcapped mountains
violet flowers weaving sifting
Living life like treacle fountains

Say you sensible this is not?
Sing I a favour to your brain.
life fits no simple slot
and boredom is the greater pain.

Brightly burning pyres flicker
livid like a rose in bloom
the soul of creation is thicker
than that of the stock boardroom.

Reaching out with hands that smile
I offer love and light for all.
And if you prefer the darker mile
I have no problem with that stall.

Come one come all, rejoice your life
and do not argue with your wife
for I will show you pain and pleasure
greater than that had with knife.
