Line Gauthier Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Crimson Ribbon Jealousy

Crimson ribbon across the darkening sky
Toys sweetly with exquisite hints azurite 
Sublime whisper in the stillness of the night
Dulcet as a fluttering wings' butterfly

Ignoring warnings of atrophy's caution
Tightening the fatal corset to her heart
Beware of jealousy's evil counterpart
Watching it adrift beyond the horizon

Neath veil opaque set free most venomous ache 
Draining weary soul of stagnant tears and fears
With returning tide the hope of buoyant years 
Await sunrise as she awakes at daybreak
