Dark Parade

Posted on July 24, 2013 by Helen

I have not yet
Been consumed by lust or love
I’ve flown above
The act while it was made
Just curiosity
For all the games we’ve played
I have not known
My soul, this dark parade

I have not yet
Entwined my body here
I’ve kept so clear
Of feeling that may overthrow
These little deaths
Are sensations I can’t know
I’m just observing
Along the dark parade I go

    “I have not yet been consumed by lust or love…” You should try it. Although you can’t beat a good mug of cocoa either.

    lol….Right now, I think I will opt for the cocoa like Brian said……sounds so comforting and safe.

    Wonderful work, Sis! You amaze me.
