tonight at #dverse we have been prompted by Lillian to write a poem inspired by adages/proverbs.
#poetics, #draco, #darklove
Dear Persephone,
It has been an age,
Since last we wrote,
Your words I have missed,
I never know what you shall write.
So here I shall share,
Some you sent to me,
All which shows I still know not
What you shall say.

Like;
You hankering for blood
Cajoles me to you
Here I am offering you
From your letter dated 9/3/21
Like;
Found Lazuli’s grave have I,
My self-loathing a slippery slope,
We sold his morrows for what?
Slanted melancholy morals awakened.
From your letter dated 10/7/21.
Your words build upon our dark love.
Never shall I guess what comes next.
From the box of chocolates, that are your letters.
DRACO
