chickydoodle Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 When beauty dropped her reign And Youth veered off the stone-strewn trail, An empty dream lay unhinged; Ornate façade of filigree; With plush seats of velvet dust; Where once was sat Hope and Trust; And busy spiders spin the tale Of betrayal, Love, deceit and shame.

dion333 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 oh lovely. Is it about fading beauty? Link to comment
chickydoodle Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Thank You. Yes fading beauty and ageing. The metaphor being a carriage drawn by horses ( youth) - energy/vibrancy/beauty..... The carriage represents Hope ( abandoned due to a hard path - bad choices in life which exerted their toll on beauty over time) The spiders represent the web of deceit and betrayal dealt to this person........ But it can be about anything you like Link to comment
