Katelyn Stanton Nov 2024
Dripping, dripping, ever so slowly,
flooding the fields of flowers below.
Strands of grass, never to be lonely,
standing and falling in row.

Treetops descending, crooked and bent,
trailing the paths, having been spent.
Dripping, dripping, ever so slowly,
tears of clouds and tears of worry.

Is it the wind??
That blows branches array??
Or is it the sin??
That causes leaves to fly stray??

Lowering, lowering, bright and pink,
stars in the sky causing hands to link.
Dripping, dripping, ever so slowly,
basking in sadness and basking in glory.

Blood dripping from the lustful sword
Forged in the eddies of hell
The lives of men beckoning
At every moment and turn
Blood dripping from the lustful sword
But it's never enough
Its thirst is never quenched
Forever parched
Dustier than a desert plain
Blood dripping from the lustful sword
A thousand have been felled
Stalks of wheat in the wind
And I the wielder
Blood dripping from the lustful sword
Am not even safe
As the blade turns inward
Piercing my chest
Blood dripping from the lustful sword
Cutting through my heart
As if it were ashes
Latching on and drinking its fill
Blood dripping from the lustful sword
I crumple
I fall
The hand that has fed it  
Has in turn been bitten
