Mystical

Sat November 27 2021Fri October 29 2021 Scott Andrew Bailey

By Scott Bailey © 2016 The mystical chord is missingCongregation of the heartsCohesion of resistanceThe friction that throws up sparks Dragons stir on dripping hoardsSqueeze the bloody stonesBuild their beds on broken bonesTheir hunger ever fed Lore is twisted into chainsChoking all who dreamMystic songs have drained awaySilence reigns Image from Pixabay

Debt

Thu November 11 2021 Scott Andrew Bailey

By Scott Bailey © 1998 Do not lightly discard themwith tales of the foolish bold.They sat for weeks, for months, for yearsin trenches freezing cold.Sometimes feet simply moulderedin the sucking mud.And now and then they’d rise and runand spill their loyal blood.

By Scott Bailey © 1999 In a crumbling house, we gathered,sat around the ancient fire.Logs burnt slow in the hearth,warmed our expectant hearts.Firelight flickered in the darkening eve,We gathered around the elders.sat in large and comfy chairs.Red light upon our faces.We heard of times gone by,and smelt the burning wood.The shadows held safe the past,we… Continue reading Ages
