~ Miranda’s Oil ~

Cobwebs laced in spiders lay across a golden drape,
Wine soaked empty barrels, reeking still of golden grape.
Dungeonous surroundings, dark beyond a starless night,
A cellar long abandoned; Civil war would end its plight.


Southern homes abandoned, engulfed in fear’s infusion,
Slaves released at last, run fast, in dubious confusion.
Grandeur portals stand ajar, white castles lay in wait,
Crystals ring a haunting tune, blue melancholy estate.


Cobwebs laced in spiders lay across a golden drape,
Undiscovered treasure left behind, in panic’s wake.
Gilded portrait lay disgraced, face down in crumbled soil,
There amidst the blackened rubble, lies Miranda’s oil…
