Love Poem: The Nail

The Nail

The nail

One point
One arrow
One strike

Blood spurts
Blood Flies
Blood cries

Two moments
Two holding outstretched hands
Two lonely lovers in strange lands

Veins cease to flow
Veins leaking into the earth
Veins grasping at all the possibilities

Three days
Three Crosses
Three lies

Life dances over the rainbow
Death creeps up from under earth
Three times I have recited dearth

A hunter with bow across this land
Seeking to pierce the very heart of eve
The ice cold winter stops him bold

Love died, is three times too old
