Beautiful Scars Poet Verse

Epochs of Perpetual Love

epochs drenched in pallets
of yellow silhouettes,

spanning lifetimes of 
forever I love you’s-

seasons stretched in
shades of crimson secrets,

measuring time only
with cups of hope-

seconds and minutes
saturated in forgiveness,

cadence of memoirs 
released in adoring armor...


for I am but a perpetual ghost,
raptured inside what you love most-
freedom rests in thoughts of our decree...
eventide ascends for love's guarantee.
