Black Lace Widow

White pages stare
	   at the blood stains of the past
White virgin cries then dies
	   red wine to the victor
Roses so blue
	   tell tales in the wind
Judges three, older than all of thee
	   all of them colorblind

Intriguing, Aurore. You've picked your words carefully ... I feel as though it's call out against unfair judges through out time. Nice color transitions from "pages" to "virgins", "blood stains" to "red wine" ...

Only a short write, Aurore, but very expressive and impressive! When will true justice be served?! ~ Regards // paul

full of sad emotional imagery - I am probably on the wrong track but the colours remind me of the french flag and also with the recent atrocities in Belgium there will be many people in mourning.:-( hugs Jan xx
