Twilight rays of sunset branched in her eyes,
A runaway's cowardly request denied,
One blink induced a determined night,
But dawn came too early as the due drops slide.

Between two shutters just a breath apart,
The window pried open, the solitude marred,
In sight all the blue seeds bloomed in the yard,
Sadness is a lethal weapon with no heart.

Feet dangling down baths of tranquil air,
Fishing for a peaceful thought to spare,
But the bait is poisoned, the turmoil declared,
The shallows are colored as the demons find another lair.*
