suicide softening

suicide softening

yesterday morning's frost

a glistening blanket covering earth's heart

with such beauty,

like a poet's imagination,

yet we know how she kills,

the unseen dagger

the translucent eyes

we indulge

open

then the frost

and our deflowered innocence

left decomposing

as we compose poems

of love and lust

knowing full well

what tomorrow's dawn will bring.

Having been writing since school age I can sense the feelings in nature and life that bring words and thoughts for us to put down on paper. I am just thankful for all on the Café who share this with us. Valentine
