Red Scarlet Heart
‘RED SCARLET HEART’
Cardinal desire misled chastened into submission instead
To tread water in the deep end of humanity a ruby watershed
Surrender is fed comfort zones of self-destruction fine tapered threads
A sharp silver flash of bloodshed releasing all pain in crimson red
Armoured withdrawal begins to spread- unseen by others, well read
Realisation of vermilion hidden- a personal undisclosed habit forbidden
Destructive behaviour trivialized, always recognised, seldom actualised
Pain divides an element of blank-one battle, one person to thank
A surrealistic rosy escape- ongoing dysfunction a mammoth mistake
The easy way out drowning hurt and fear-- piercing hearts with razor sharp spears
Carefully constructed isolation is violated- forced visitation, medical annihilation
Therapeutically enhancing Picasso on the wall- reflective perceptions- inevitably reality calls
