Lost Upon the Withering Heights


Lost Upon The Withering Heights

~

A saddened season
   Again, this silent night
Trickling like a crying river
   Of crimson love and broken light
Where smoke filled rooms 
   Of dust and ash
Choke a candle glow
   To leave a mistress
A lonely soul
   To gaze the streets below

~

She writes a word upon the petal of a torn rose
And slowly dies...
