Red gold walls of a soul castle <br />Sense of time haunted by wishes <br />Ghosts of stars like blue poets <br />Words with acrylic souls <br />She is the Louvre in the dark <br />Ships in sinking watercolors <br />Her dress of magic black <br />Hear the shadows undress <br />Treacherous silk wharfs <br />She speaks of caves with red eyes <br /> <br />Set the table with crystal indigo <br />Have you been in arms of marigolds? <br />Foghorns along the quay of dreams <br />I believe in the mystic connection <br />Chills of warm antiquity <br />Seagulls from the other side <br />Trees of heaven in the parables <br />Waking in tides of violet cross over <br />Watch closely as the soul leaves <br />When the clock stops truth begins <br /> <br />The lighthouse has a devil <br />Don't stay there at night <br />My friends are being watched <br />Being sifted like wheat <br />The witches candle goes out <br />Tunnels up and down <br />Your hand is cold <br />You use to hunt so well <br />Now you're hunted <br />All the sleek excuses gone <br /> <br />Never to pray again<br /><br />Joseph Narusiewicz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/never-to-pray-again/
