Empty Shell

Pockets full of water

A bunnet full of lead

Reaching for intangibles

Down garden paths I’m led

Soft voices of delirium

Scream silent in the night

Solitude of ghostly shroud

Provides my only light

A bucket load of secrets

A saucer full of air

Searching for insolubles

Find only hangmans’ lair

Dark recesses opened

Unleash demonic host

Poison thoughts released

Maim those that mean the most

A hatful of bitterness

A cupboard full of dreams

Potent combination

Smashes all to smithereens
