The Illogical Feud

Fire's fickle flare falls down
Rosy cheeks 
with violent wet streaks
of fury shattered against the
shores of tragedy.
Hair torn, grace forlorn
feigning futile fights from last morn
now rendered pointless
by endless scorn.
Free flows follow fine lines
between sorrowful and happy times
bittersweet empty crimes
unsustained lies,
times terrible truths held to roost
smashing boundaries juiced
like sour limes.
Green, with envy 
no longer gently held 
behind dry mascara recently welled
and screams, so gleefully yelled
at who?
The vast verbal vindictive void, 
the nothing, the emptiness
You held so deep, that only
passion could melt that frozen keep. 
teeth gnashing like a spiked portcullis
holding back your mortal lips
from words so venomous they bring abyss. 

- A journey started by a single kiss.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
