Tender Blossom

Tangled vines of fate
press loosely against this feathered silhouette

embracing the emptiness
which consumes realities sun

parched from hydraulic hope of
iridescent illusions
blending shadows of grey sadness
into moments of dark despair

one last bloom of an aged shell
waiting
patiently
to be pruned

defenseless beauty
admired;
stolen~
used

for dreams

This is so sad, yet so beautiful at the same time. I think you have captured what mankind does best with a lot of things in this world with this particular stanza:
defenseless beauty
admired;
stolen~
used
Thank you for sharing some more of your wonderful talent with us and best of luck in the contest
