​my style of poetry has sort of changed these last few months. I'm looking for more metaphorical usage of words- deep and use analogies. Read my poem below as an example, but you do not have to write about my poem or the picture included.

  Ebony love,              

             -bleeding crimson hopes.

Beauty in death reveals a forever

permanent scar, from afar I see

blackness and the night seems too long-

Emerald dreams used to hold me together.

They made me sturdy, took me away to a

place I only wished would bring love-

but time passes too quickly and the hourglass broken-

for the crimson stain has spoken and the life

I once knew was over.

Emotions…

screaming loud- too loud to hear,

yet too soft to be quiet.

I shout in raging silence and my thorns prick my soul,

just as a needle would bleed my fingertip.

Innocence lost and I paid the cost- forevermore is forever

gone and I am left abandoned-

                                          ....crimson stained and alone.

Feel me in the breeze as I fall to my remorseful knees-

pick me in a field of roses and I will finally be free.

Ebony love- has risen above.

             Only a crimson stain,

                           - will forever remain.
