bLuNT kNiVEs + SiLvER LiES

And tHiS night, hearts have
been MuRDerED
Torn out with bLUnT knives
Knives that held the sparkling
lie of silver

and hEaRtS were held high
tHiS night
DRiPpiNg from the pronged
forks
Of an angel's fiery
TaLE

For angels cAn
have grey hearts
gReY...
HeArTS...

that sell the stars to daylight
when the day is not
eNOuGH
Like two a'penny candy
oR mAYbe
tWo a'penny love

aNd, Oh...
AnD, oh my!!
see now how
aLL
TRoUBLed waters cry

their poison
To the roses, which all die, of
course
All die
Of course
aLL diE, oF course
tHiS niGhT

Hi Marion, I just popped on here to have a quick glance before work. And I saw this poem. And there is no "quick glance" to this one. This poem is just outstanding in its eloquence. The lines in it drive straight to the heart. I could not go off to work without leaving a comment and a galaxy of stars to this one. This is one truly awesome piece of work. Lines like
