Cold the waters
Cold the waters
Flames shot from between teeth
and the steam of the night parted.
Placed upon head a guilded wreath
of gold and fine jewels departed.
Taken from lands from afar
and left barren to fend alone.
Wishing hopeless upon a star
Nothing left but skin and bone.
Confide in me and I will be guide
the lies told to gain innocent trust.
Behind you I will scheme and hide
to fill my endless desire and lust.
Another's sweat upon the skin
convinced it is the only way past.
Working upon another's spin
Forever tied to a false caste.
Of kings and queens and royals
looking up to see the golden spire.
Behind the eyes blood boils
Through words will rain cold fire.
Never enough as plenty passes
through hands and minds too weak.
Destined to repeat life's classes
As rather than listen they only speak.
Safety provided in the box
Security of mind the offer taken.
Keys turn in the locks
Behind bars left the forsaken.
A prison of minds that hold
tighter than any cuffs ever could.
Eternally bought and sold
Like no human ever would.

Writing is a good way to clear the head before heading to bed.
Amazing. Both the photo and the poem. And you are neither a professional photographer nor a native English speaker?
I am not a professional photographer and since I am Australian, I might not be a native English speaker either :D
Lol, good on ya mate. Seems lots of native English want to brexit to your land. I joined Steem when living in Queensland. Funland indeed! Thought you are from Finland seeing your profile. ;)

I live in Finland now. Was in Cairns before coming here but originally from Adelaide :)
Everyone wants to brexit to Australia - until they think of the snakes, spiders, sharks and crocodiles :D
So now you are very safe, haha... low chance of snakebite, but higher chance of frostbite... ;p
I traveled to Finland one summer and felt it’s colder than the Queensland winter 🥶 but it’s so cool in many other senses too, like design, education...
And you remind me of this book I read in Straya :D that’s how I survived:
That is one serious poem my friend. Thanks for sharing @tarazkp
Glad you enjoyed it.
I have a feeling you are talking about Steem here without ever mentioning its name.

Perhaps it is because I am normally talking of Steem? For poems I let people decide what it means to them.
I love it when you write poetry... it's always spiced up ♡
I find it is what comes out on the day. Clears the mind at least :)
