Love Poem: Crimson Ink

Crimson Ink

you CAPTIVATE me with your excellence-
even inside my misguided muse I seek you 
out of  f o r s a k e n  memories. 

I fear the kismet I carry with ease-
for it RESOUNDS in an aria of vexed discovery 
and  a f f l i c t e d  breakthrough.

I sought you during my terminal epoch-
and yet,
the cancer I carried still allowed me to bear 
your burden.
the stars envy you, love, as I uncover your 
ivory glazed moon.

I still ache for heaven’s breath to anoint me in 
your tenderness exploring the possibilities of 
the freedom we used to wear like mounted 
eagles perched upon the highest pine. 

for you are my wound that WON'T heal leaving
a scar of crimson ink  b l e e d i n g  just to touch 
you... 
                  ONCE AGAIN.
