That Lake

By EdF

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

What secrets does that lake contain Beneath its dark and murky waves? What ancient warriors wracked in pain Still twist in sunken muddy graves? Within its depths what creatures swim Unaltered since the early days? Upon its floor what scuttling grim Crustaceans wend their drunken ways? Your eyes, like placid pools of ink Disguise the fires burning deep. Arise! Come to the surface. Drink The air and put the past to sleep. What secrets does that lake contain Beneath the ripples of your brain? Written November 26th, 2001 © on Nov 25 2001 05:31 PM PST   18 • 0 • 10
