Under a spell,
Like an obedient little child...
Dangerous but tempting,
Like a diamond in the lion’s mouth...
There’s nothing I could do but crawl.
Pointing fingers to blame for the crash,
I can’t believe it’s come to this,
Up in smoke for our ignorant bliss.
But, like small cinders of ash,
Everything has a place to fall...
I wouldn’t call it curious...
We’ve all been misguided.
We all get a little delirious,
When the leash is tightened.
I didn’t know what to do.
I am speechless.
From the rabbit hole, I carry out the worst.
Failing with a guilty spirit.
I’ve become a irrevocable mess.
And now, the cat’s got a lie under my tongue.
Reviews of "The Lion's Mouth"
New Poetry by Mariah K Rowse
Delightful spin on a classic.
