Scarlet Ember

Scarlet ember

(look , smell, sound, taste, feel)

Scarlet--flakes of RUST , SEEN in ashes of burnt coal 
Scarlet—AROMA of smothered froth of BLACK engine
Scarlet—CRACKLES, likes of icy BLUE hailstorm
Scarlet—memoirs of BROWN BITTER stones
Scarlet—FEET like crispy GOLDEN autumn leaves on ground

(rust, seen , aroma, black, crackles, blue, brown, bitter, feet, golden)

rusted souls seen inside and out
nobody knows where to stand
aroma of intensity around
black intentions always surround
dying, crackling under deep blue sky
reaching out to infinity and beyond
will somehow become part of brown soil
bitter or sweet, everything will be gone
used to feel like nothing would ever end
even golden memories will turn to embers and stone.
