Anthony Bianco Poet Rhyme

A Sparrow Poem

I 
leave a stain whenever my heart beats,
A few are quite beautiful though brief.
Like a watercolor morning whispering
or a moon-licked mermaid sea,
but most are pocked with lust's conceit... 

I
leave a stain whenever my heart beats.
Turning sparrow psalms into silent crows
where blackness climbs the picket fence,
these stains tend to overbend the soul.
I 
leave a stain whenever my heart beats.

Brenda Meier-Hans December 6, 2014 at 9:25 AM I'm glad this is about nobody in particular. It is so very sad and dark, yet so beautifully written, I want to reach out and whisper you are not so bad, you can do better.
