Poem Title:
Poem
Amethyst shades dazzle her mysteriousness hiding black secrets in vulnerable mellows though recognized in the forgotten marshes she's said to possess dark onyx powers. She smiles at lost passersby in the red valley aware of the myths bubbling beneath wet soil and they disappear in unexplored forests seemingly safer than her uncharted evil mind every full moon augments her fragrance they say her Carmen blooms to entrap innocent souls. A thousand false alarms wrapped in assumptions for they'd never know she's a trampled magnolia tattered spirits in frayed rags was all she had dried oceans of scarlet tears in enclaves of fears humanity died on a full moon night under heavy breaths her weakened screams muted with lustful arms blurred visions of a forced conviction in blood her faint shrieks died in this swamp of tragedies till her blood froze beneath slumbering snow. Her burning spirit simmered mauve mists slimy seeds sprouted the dirty green marshes spring bloomed her courage to recollect storms crushed to sprinkle colors on heavenly topanga diamonds in her mind shimmer as she laughs sending ripples of valor in perturbed oceans embracing her flaws she sings a folk melody trances of whispers blended in mellow symphony legends of crimson valley float with her flute a goddess calming oppressed souls to breathe they've heard stories of sapphires burning splashing colors of freedom and kindness but all they see on drooping moonless nights her pious caricature coming alive in dark magenta petals blooming in layered fog of storms turning mauve then scarlet glittering ruby spreading wings from green marshes perfumed flowers on elevators of courage to save scarred souls infant butterflies arise in lilac hues of whispering hopes.
