Delicate Crimson
The blazing heat e x h a u s t e d
me mid-autumn...
I never knew love's kindle could
extinguish into ash from a sagacious death.
You entered my f r a g m e n t e d veins,
searching for a ruby bloodline to remorse.
Forsaken without nourishment-
indifferent with lassitude.
I fear the inertia of my soul has been unseen
and craves devotion with sensitivity unsleeping.
I have no stars left to count, no scarlet lilies left to pick and in my aching sympathies I find apathetic desires. Mother Nature brought her introvenient shame withering all willows weeping. Abandoned leaves dive…
...delicate crimson.
