Pic: Malice by ~RedSigns
Scarlet petals feel lost and lonely
in a shiver of thoughts
the harvest of my dreams
is now suspended
between closeness and oblivion.
Like roses in my garden
organised in a row are my lovers
who gather impatient in my address book.
Convinced by my façade
they carry on existing inanely
I watched how rapidly they breathe
as I lie through my phony smile.
I watch the remains of themselves dissolve
with an ambiguity they cannot decipher
now their voices ride clouded unicorns,
to sooth an absent future.
I am the geisha of a lonely modernity
I protect my face from sun darts
knowing that in my hands
they stand, staring at my porcelain face
flawless beyond compare
slowly as the atmosphere is getting cooler
tomorrow seems so uncertain...
.

Really lovely, a poetic picture scraped in roses...an address book of scarlet pedals.
