Found in the depths of my books...

[Pomplemous]

Dated 22/3/02 - 8.45pm on the Green Chair.

As I was walking to St Ives
I met a man with seven knives
Seven knives he thrust inside me
One fell out and lay beside me.
I cried out from my seven pains
As life gushed out through seven veins.
I fell to the ground as in Mind's eye
Seven seconds saw my life flash by.
My breathing deepened then as I
Prepared to see myself then die.
Seven breaths I took before
I saw my soul rise from the floor.
Fragile, yet strong and colours bright
I was the most exuberant sight.
And up my soul rose to the sky
As that of a beautiful butterfly

(Then I was eaten by a frog)

???? hahah - I dont remember writing that but it is my writing.

i really enjoyed this, especially the sevens thing through lines two to five. "as life gushed out through seven veins" is quite brilliant
