Sacred

Missing image

 

 

Her bloodied bouquet

of beating passions

crumpled by demon prince.

 

Purity's precious petals

stained by claret droplets

from hemorrhaging naiveté,

hallowed throbbing vase of ivory innocence

fractured

in Humpty Dumpty frailty.

 

Darkness never silences

violation's sobs,

but eyes still reach out

for glimmers of shining armor,

because the heart

refuses

to stop growing love's roses

as its garden's sacred blossoms.

    This carries the prompt with description. The reader brought to watch as darkness violation to sobs of the heart. Love refuses to bow to evil as roses grow in sacred blooms.
