A Halloween inspired pumpkin piece |
Hollow Knights Around a canvas, orange hide Just beyond life's veil Lights we harbour, burn inside Carving out the tale A tapestry in amber flesh Woven, cut in place To locate other patches, mesh Our gods and monsters faced With shadows cast, projected, lit Thrown outside, they play They dance to find a place to fit Flickering away Burning slowly as it goes A light to warn and call Turning lowly, fits and throes A beacon to enthral Routed facets, rhythmic flashes A lure raised, a stake After fire, there are ashes … a phoenix in their wake Crawling from the hollows At the same time, old and new Calling from time borrowed A marriage bold and blue A marriage of desires Of all the things we choose Where hopes and dreams conspire With all the things we lose All the things that fall through Holes cut along the way The nights carved faces grin through The shadows of the day The things that we hold onto The things that we can't face Afraid, reluctant, withdrew The things we should embrace Sculpted on the surface Sometimes running deep For those who make a purchase the prices can be steep On the whole it's worth it Uses can be found Pieces that might not fit Can soon be turned around To make a different picture So messy, yet complete A jigsaw puzzle scripture A mosaic strewn time sheet A soul spelled out, a heartbeat penned Adorned, a pumpkin mount We all are stories in the end Lets make the pages count |
