Prince

as I sit in a lonely redwood
upon a fallen  oak,
Death comes to me 
in the form of a bleeding heart.
cracks of pain are deep and Unforgiven.
i know every infliction
 as i see myself in each droplet’s reflection…
alone on the fallen tree steam
i lie down enveloped in my sorrow.
as each drop spills onto my Lying figure;
Crimson Tears fall down my cheeks…
as each tear falls ;
 on either side of  my head
a Love’s image grows.
as it may live or die;
only the Prince of darkness can tell that tale…
