~ Oblivion's Nightmare ~

~ Oblivion's Nightmare ~

With amber slaked into honey
The drippings finding lips of gold
A casual tasting of intensity
Where history retains its dramatic cut
With wealth waylaid in bits of time
And Lucifer there, wrangling the rhymes
Deep into crevices, impartial, yet signed
The magistrate cries for help in the night
The magistrate cries for a little more time
Can I be the messenger, the harbinger
The paper plates on which truth is served
The red coats are coming and so is the Lord
To smile us all into Oblivion's Nightmare
To dial us all into Oblivion's Nightmare.....
------------------------------------------------------
In time's due course great ships will arrive
With drippings from vague lips of gold
With Lord Talmedge's spoons of honey and wine
Where twinkling sprinkles historical times
Of barbarous days and venomous nights
We pray the Lord for more glorious signs
Like Loxley upon the wings of Sherwood
And Oxford providing the most miracle minds
To smile us all into Oblivion's Nightmare
To dial us all into Oblivion's Nightmare
Where history retains its domestic cut
With amber slaked, becoming bushels of falsehood
And the truth of it all dies down for a while
And the heart of intensity,
Sleeps like lullabies,
Creating these,
The dreams,
Of evil
Men....

Oh, Tony my friend, so, so many lines in this piece have blown me away.

The paper plates on which truth is served

Wow, and I love the Loxley reference.
Really, really great
Nigel

(And congratulations again, Posh and Becks)

YAY!! thanx Sir NIGEL!!...I was hoping someone would catch the Loxley reference.....appropriate that it would come from across the pond......it's interesting, I somehow (in my own head) think in terms of Olde English.......for someone with my background and upbringing it's quite unusual to be upset with modern slang and recent use of the English language!!.....but I truly despise what's happening to language in general........in my heart, I'm a defender of the realm!!.....weird right?......Oh well, takes us ALL to make up this crazy world!!.......smiles......and thanx so much for the congratulations!!......love to you and yours!!......T xo ?✴❀

My Dear Tony,

This never ending nightmare
Wreaks havoc on men's Souls
Omnivorous oblivion
Threatens Mankind whole

.
But soon The Saviour is coming
Hearkened Angels will uprise
Gabriel will blow his trumpet
Signaling "Oblivions" demise

Love,
Larry xxx

Dear Tony,

Sorry for the late response, but we are just getting settled in to our new digs.  Glad to hear that you are up and about again.
It would be my honor if you want to use it in a poem, because I am an omnivore for the meat of your astounding works.

All my love,
Larry xxx
