Slipping
Petals unfurl
under the passing of her shadow
I am lost in the silences of her face
Her voice strips me from inside
Where blackened embers of self
try to relight
as shame tries
to hide behind
Forgotten how to forget
Skys of tide died
Where colour takes it place
Disguised atop her eyes
Layers of light
humble themselves
beneath the greys
of loves unfiltered gaze
