Scarlet Woman
A heart set on love
forever falling for lust,
Just as metal over water
time produces rust.
Lost in never ending infinity
like an ocean bearing no earth,
Incomplete and unaware
like a child never reaching birth.
Impurity is ever present
but mistakes don't determine fate,
Life is a two edged sword
one side love the other hate.
Pain embodies beauty
like a rose entangled cross,
Love of a scarlet woman
ends this war with loss.
My world is crippled
in the face of my defeat,
So beautiful, Scarlet woman
whose kiss is bittersweet.
