Bound in beauty
Hacked and hewn stripped and stained Set in concrete to remain Straight upstanding tall and brownWired vibrations running round Humans light completes my lot Standing naked in this spot Stood cold and lonely for many years Just singing cables in my ears Birds would perch upon my wires And dogs complete their hearts desire Well slowly slowly quite unseen Crept natures vines now varied green Trailing arrows point to this scene Stretching skyward in a dreamLike mary at the cross of christhands outstretched with sobbing voice Her tear filled eyes and soft embrace Genetic memories from my race But now my own beauty is bound to me With scented flowers bursting freePetals strewn upon the floorFingers tightening more and more Till bound in beauty I will stay With buds at night and flowers by day And insects that will come and play As statuesque I proudly stay She reaches halfway up my mast This grasping mistress plans to last Eventually she'll smother me Whilst I'll be wishing to be free Of these constraining coils of green These milk white petals are quite obscene I've had my fill of pungent scent Even if its heaven sent Set me free oh evil witch All you do is moan and bitch I remember when I was clothed in green Not strangulated in this scene I'm hoping for a woodland axe To chop me down with his attacks Return my body to the ground Where I ll be free of this whining sound Copyright 17062020
