Raspberry Molasses

 

Raspberry molasses and honeysuckle tears
Mixed with some sea foam and trench coated fears
Swim in this life's pool with marshmallow floats
Digress like a candlestick maker in a leaky old boat

Words are the freedom of cylindrical lives
Silence the Frankenstein of desperate wives

 

Kiss the snake tenderly make it feel loved
Fly on the back of a huge turtle dove

Whatever manner of verse I write here
Is a million times better than an unspoken fear
As we enter the course of translucent words
And fly in the breeze with now spoken words
