“A fool who cursed the sun was surprised to see it still shining.” – Marty Rubin
“A thing can be true and still be desperate folly, Hazel.”
The Snake who from the darkest pools pulls pain through the roots
A drink but not to quench a thirst that begins in hell’s stench
Proof that evil resides holding reign in deepest echoing halls
A coil from roses bloody innocence proclaimed through beauty
Lay it down at the cavern’s maw bringing creatures from the depths
Take compassion to tear it asunder from the veiled innocent breast
Inside is found the hideous heartbreak of lover’s scornfully betrayed
A harbinger of rapturous delusions reveals the folly of ages
