Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
Tragic Innuendo
A tragic innuendo-
closed for renovations
but sometimes,
an ardent heart never re-opens
becomes a sacrificial lamb
when intimate relations
whispered conversations
no longer emblazon
the salt moon
with sweet intent
and all that remains
are fire brick cinders
yearning for a flame
