Mythagic Poem by richard (mak) makinson

Far away where plastic was made
Chocolate ants for the tourist trade
Mares of Diomedes feasting on me
Beyond the dream lies the reality
Colours flying and dice that skate
Bees whisper to sheep hair braid
Cattle of Geryon painted on me
Under the stair hides my identity

Long ago when money was real
Exotic fruit and fleas that squeal
Arms of Morpheus in bravest ivory
Within these walls grows the enmity
Pillbox soldier with eyes gaping loud
Slender bodied woman looks for pound
Sow of Crommyum carved into tree
Behind the clock sits my uncertainty

Once upon a time was very true
Soundless people of a darker hue
Sword of Damocles waiting for me
Between my life there's no harmony
Flying mammals of deep hilly field
Children blind to causes we plead
Hydra of Lerna described as charity
Above my reason waits my sanity.
