As silhouettes weep to their dusky death

A pirouette moon sleeps to a solstice vignette

Still suns combed to a faded memory of regret

The taunted lily gives an aching breath

Exhaling the taste of turquoise tasseled tongues left

My bleeding heart is undressed


To a scarlet moonrise in the winter of flowers

Are memorable bones hushed with bloodstained sours


If I loved? Did I love thee?

Then allure me with your star torched flames

Cherry lips brush a lush sky in shame

My veins soak up the fevered blame

&

My soul yearns for twilight rain

We are one of the same


Somewhere between the silence &

the pause...

Shadows evaporate & words slip into my flaws


In a rainbow dream the echo of a whisper spills  to my quill

Sweet crimson ink dot the spaces to fill

&

I wear the tule dress with the blush frill

Entwined in twill, I write a poem on a daffodil

Lost to the soul in the womb of the earth's fulfill


Ohh silver sea

Split in the middle of envy

Where a star fits the place of longevity

I am born to a lured tragedy
