Saving My Soul

A shrill cry pierces the air

in the eagle nest, on hill top

the mother wants to protect the baby

from the male, irate and stoned.

 

 A shy cupid wants to reside

in the palace, swallowed in dark dust

the sentry wears no costume, no make up

the house is haunted and calm.

 

I want to climb up the hill

to dismantle the moon

at night it shines very dull

wolves flout to come out.

 

Let’s make a deal with

the eagle, the cupid and wolves

they will deter my lunacy

and save my drifting soul.
