Drops of Ruby
A gentle tap upon heart’s window beats
an invitation to an open mind.
Yet deep within, a distant soul retreats,
so hiding light behind an aspect blind.
In pools of misplaced loyalty she basks
by light of candle, blending with gone-bys.
Upon the floor, in drifts, beguiling masks
discarded now along with all the lies.
A drop of ruby liquid spills across
the stillness as she drinks to cloud the past.
Each break of dawn relights the pain of loss,
consuming love, creating spaces vast.
A gentle brush of crystal ‘cross the wrist
brings drops of ruby swirling to the mist.
