Creamy skin, with fingernail bites
red streaks obscurely sheered
absorbed in fabric, now glued
to a garment of a soul beneath.
No choice, but to wind then bind
enclosed within a folded scarf
arms wrapped to defend
these emotions over time.
But vague is the nameless pain
unexplained, in aimless rooms
intoxicated is the anguish
which squanders life
unable to reclaim.
Then windblown are the seeds when sewn
strewn amongst the traveled thoughts
unraveled are the disentangled threads
when put to bed to rest.
Unwrapped is the scarf
when love has passed the test
the nightingale sings away
the darkness of the shadowed night
while nestled in the bosom
as emotions, see the light.
Beautiful poem....loved this phrase: "now glued
ReplyDeleteto a garment of a soul beneath."
That last stanza sings off the page. What a wonderful way to end this piece.
