Deeper Still
just another fancy fable
a fabulous duplicate
spread out for you
just another widow waiting
a mere shadow of the truth
if you want to watch it linger
ill grab a stool for you
unless you'd like a high horse better
but just as well
it might turn out to be a mule
just another peaceful moment
disturbed unreadily by the truth
just another preacher preaching
of the one thing he knows not of
just a little simple sonnet
of profits paupers and kings
just another merchant selling
nothing needed....just...things
and another lady crying
tears of eminence stained already
just another succubus spewing
what she thought was to be desired
caught off guard by the fowl taste of lethargy.
just another thoughtfull knowing
that all of this is merely lies
but even so to go on sewing
when you know the blanket
will end up only for the eyes.
Rumpelstiltskin failed his game
the truth soaks through the sheets
and then to find the truth so unbecoming
more disappointing to the weak.
unannounced and unpredicted
slammed from somewhere Ive not been
the darkened forest deep within me
i guess goes deeper still.
