As sun rises upon this land through purple clouds and flirting sparrows <br /> Rain stops dripping, kids start skipping as gardeners fill their barrows <br /> <br />A masked crusader upon a pink horse goes galloping over hills <br />As beetles sweat within their debt and struggle to pay their bills <br /> <br />Thirsty fingers pull along a carriage with triangular wheels <br />Pay your rent then stop for lent, swinging, dodgy deals <br /> <br />As grass grows and flowers bloom, the world begins to twinkle <br />But will it end in doom and gloom, will flesh begin to sprinkle <br /> <br />Will insides end up on the out, will blood flow through streams <br />Eye balls popping, heart beat stopping, true become bad dreams <br /> <br />Thoughts of you loving me and never letting go <br />I love you true, I love you too and yes I need you so <br /> <br />Here are spinning circles, in a square denoted mind, <br />A fast adventure to dementia, going deaf and blind <br /> <br />Falling deep, into a pit, of darkness never stopping <br />Love forever, die together, may we share a coffin? .<br /><br />Annemarie Griffiths<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/doom-and-gloom/
