The fabric of love woven,
And wrapped ...
Torn to shreds.
Thread by thread emotions;
Spill words tumble cascade,
- in my breathless orgasmic;
Grasping ...
The essence wrenched out of beauty ...
- it's substance rendered futile,
Unwillingly reconstructed,
Reworked unrecognisable.
Crevass screaming ...
Companion to loss ...
Hope, burning,
Burnt, burned.
Ashes scattered smudge grey;
Rainbow's departure.
