God forsaken, you Queens of old
Paint splattered, carrels of bulk
Ah, frayed. All dazed
No stopper, no plug, for blazing sulk

Fingers snap in time to the
Masked man’s final swing
Barricade beneath baroque brocade
Listen to that gravity ring

They realize, of course, he cannot be saved
A not-so-secret bag of tricks
They sit embarrassed, laugh to stifle cause
A not-so-nimble box of bricks

Oh the masked man, oh the shroud
Breathing in your murky cloud
Fate for your entire crowd:
Lined, flat, and more than ploughed
It's about one hell of a fall.
It's about the fall in hell (autumn).
Could be about the fall to hell.
Either way,
it's about time.

Interesting...makes me wonder what's going on in it. Must confess...never had a good head for poetry ^^; but I like your work.
