` just a mere shard of lunacy ``



in the sepia –
        of her caramel dahlias
nests a mero inocencia
cradled in by her lashes…
`the sweet veleno
lying in the iris pool
                        [of hers]
wraps the beat of my heart
…in Romeo’s desire
and knits the umbels of love –
                    [with every breath]


Oh! I wish…
~ I could quill my desires
on the azure of heaven
b u t…
      my yearnings seem all deathless
as whole of the Loire
…was not enough –
                          `to ink my words`





`` `
mero inocencia – pure innocence
veleno – poison

    Captivating, that's what this poem is, there's a kind of dark serenity that imbues your words...an utterly beautiful write, I can see why it's a gold winner! Thank you for sharing this, and taking the time to enter my contest,

    Luck.

    An enjoyable write though I am not sure the sqaure brackets really add anything to it.
