Deadly Tale

There lays within me a tale to tell

With this tale a war would ignite

An ornate gate, wrought iron, masterly and artistic

A face from the arts hides within

Dancing above my head, a skeleton key that haunts the soul

Many would parade its head for all to see

This girl disagrees

The days become weeks, and weeks months

Haunting becomes a daily ritual

Each day the leather bound beauty teases me to color

There is anger poisoning the world

Why can’t the animal hibernate through its journey?

Hopefully answers will reveal itself when we draw the last line

Feelings must stay deep within abyss

Wars will erupt

Friendships will crumble

Decision to stay silent is best prescription

Secretly language can still tell a tale

Just read between the lines
