Thornbird

Thornbird

A Poem by Tamara Beryl Latham
"

Death, mythical bird

"
Thornbird

 Angelic wings flutter frantically
during the death spiral.

Her fragile form,
dripping crimson and scarlet,
superimposes the thorn
on which she has impaled herself.

Like a knife through the heart,
piercing its depths
speaks volumes on love.

Thank you for your feedback Einstein. I treasure your words. :-)
Oh, this is different, spectacular and vivid with images. You don't expect from an angel. Even angels suffer in pain and death.
