A VIOLIN VERSE BETWEEN VENOM AND VENUS


Outside the library when sun froze in the arm of winter claws  
I saw my morning star the brightest pearl in winter’s dark sea  
Venus Goddess spread her wings in my darkest hour  
and sprinkled hope rain to grow love seeds in my wandering soul  

You came like spring after frost  
a honeyed sunrise melting ice from my chest  
Your eyes were oceans holding constellations  
and my joy bloomed a garden set free  
My heart burned sweet as amber fire  
and my pulse was a Tchaikovsky violin concerto dancing in the rain  
When you held my hand Caprice No 24 sang inside my ribs  
and every step we took was a flower valley under our feet  

For a moment grief forgot my name  
For a moment sorrow was a door I closed  
Your kiss on my forehead was sunlight on a wilted stem  
love made me weightless made me whole  

But beauty is fragile glass  
One day the venom came cold silent a Taipan in the dark  
A devil’s shadow stole you from me  
and shattered the glass in front of my eyes  

A violin verse between venom and Venus  
that is where my music broke  
Joy became ash Laughter turned to rain  
My heart once a lantern turned purple with grief  
and my soul wandered mapless in the snow  

Still I sing  
Not for what I lost  
but for the hymn love left behind  
a melody that bleeds and still somehow breathes
