*Vaaz= vase 

You offered roses delivered thorns, blood drips and your body adorns ~
Slumped, soaked in crimson your heart forever mine, retribution has come, my bloody valentine—by Poet

Once upon a time lived Angel, an androgynous white knight
Diamonds in rings and pearls on strings, he’d often gift  
The reddest of roses, bluest of violets, specifics delight
Yet cataclysmic are the blackened roots adrift 
Blessed was I with a sultry kiss, my affection’s launched
Hijacked my love from the marrow of my bones 
I blessed him with carte blanche 
Mistaken for a gewgaw of wonton love on loan
Thrusting winds levitate revealing regret
The myriads of flowers in the vaaz, what cause? 
This bleeding heart gushes the blood of violet blue scarlet 
Prickly are the iron thorns between splayed fingers
Bittersweets, the Londor truffles
Cheating are the charred stars above, darkness lingers
Ionized is the taste of tears in wine, how it ruffles
like nails scratch it burns inside, nothing can suture
The arrow churns a void through the breast
Unbeknownst to me my future
To avoid loneliness and unrest
Kingdom of crushes what judgement have I begotten?
I curse the love blind night we met
As a forbidden love and now forgotten
My black knight you are Keats Bright Star
A sacrifice of Anayalation
Another scab, another scar 
A token of my affection

Anaya, sounds like this didn't work out so well. I love how you use the term anayalation. That is just too funny really. Smiles!! This is really a bit scary!!

Ahaha! Someone gets it, making me smile too. My perspective on being the one & only, while "TOO MANY FLOWERS SPOIL THE BOUQUET" laughing!

Brilliant, a light whimsical, freewheeling bloody rollicking tale of love gone amok! Quite Lady Deathesque. Well-done, Robert

Ty, Robbie, I'm not a romantic writer, although I did delight in romance retribution and a little humorous fun. I ran amok and included my collection of (comic book cards) and all-time favorite Comic Book Figure Chaos's one and only "Lady Death" and what a figure indeed! LOL
