Red Marks Door

Posture riddled little girl
soul of soot and mind of curl,
standing there alone on brink
entrance, exit in a blink.

There she stands
steal in hands,
thoughts undress,
cool blades press,
time holds still,
gushes spill,
red marks door
her warm pour,
entrance, exit in a blink
no time left for her to think.



(rhyme, something i rarely write...i love my metaphors in free style and it has always been my first choice, but i like to try other forms)

Desperation haunts the soul when emptiness fills the hole. Tools of the trade can leave their mark. When vision's filled with sky's so dark. She has a friend deep down inside. Where love so true will never hide.
