Scarlet Swirls

By Sprite

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

~~~~ Unheard Silent moaning, Hating, Grieving... Splashes of scarlet D r      a       p     in       g Over A mind bent To destruction, Hope washed away with tears. Pretty sheets soiled By the stains of despair, Glisten In the midnight air. Constant flow of water Sloshing Throwing water everywhere Scarlet Swirling in a river, Mixing in the flow. Eyes turned opaque Staring, Hands pleading, Wrists wide open, Dangling severed skin. Blue tipped fingers Shriveled, Floating Satin hair hanging, Hiding all the fear. Scarlet lipstick Message on the mirror, Under heat's fog: please don't forget to feed the dog. ~~~~~ Written April 5th, 2002 © on Apr 05 2002 02:20 PM PST, Joyce    0 • 1
