Steampunk Darling


>>Steampunk Darling<<

gears, skeleton keys, dresses, goggles
she fancied the art of steam power
and loved the way the carriages hobble
on the stones where there's growing flowers

pocket watches ticking constantly,
counting off the seconds of the day,
waiting until the moment of ghostly
death, down on our knees as we pray...

steam that puffs out of the light
causing an eerie glow and shadow
making a small, beautiful sight
like trees dancing in the meadow

she was a streampunk darling
enjoying the simplistic life,
fascinated with the shiny things
and the music from a fife...

she lived in a fantasy world
created solely for her pleasure,
making her long for sails to unfurl
and the steam-ship to power

so that she could be free...
