Sunset captured through brandy n cola
~*~*~
Rhythmic glitters
tinkling chime,
calling aloud
the ghosts of time.
Bleeding horizon
streaking blind,
ominous blue
retreating resigned.
Sounds of merry
none to be heard.
Cutting the vacuum
slithers a lizard.
Demonic symbols
of shadows arrive…
Graves speak
coming alive!
Harrowed waters,
bounds trashed;
swallowing beaches
fury unlashed.
A solitary jackal howls at a distance…

Jagged- and yet it flows. Definitely contrasting elements of mood and life…alcohol can do that -turn corners- ( I agree with your favorite book!)
