Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
Poisoned Thorns
In the hours when the earth moves between darkness and light,
where murky shadows whisper and doubtful thoughts slip through
making my heart wonder what might have been had you stayed,
what color would the (bed) of roses be today where we once lay
would they be bloody red petals hewn to black and blue
or the shimmering chartreuse of clear morning dew?
Regardless of the outcome, still the poisoned thorns
would prick this fragile soul and mortally wound…
