Flowers Between Teeth

Purple passion prances in

turbulent beauty crimson blood.

echoes of heartbeats on moonlit pond,

dancing on bloody devil’s roof in

delicate threads of burgundy dew.

I stand alone where love lies bleeding,

digging out, clawing stiffly as voice

faintly echoes, flowers between teeth,

knowing that there is no guarantee of

                      forever.

My Bad

Love lies bleeding, there

on the floor, with my stunned heart;

alas, I have erred.

The Reaping

Scythe swings low and wide 

Death honors not the Sabbath 

And love lies bleeding 

Good wheat falls with wicked weeds 

And the flowers in between
