SCARLET LEAVINGS

Folder: 
JOURNAL#18

passion and guilt

two sharp petals of life

almost painfully beautiful

are their 'Scarlet Leavings'

only the soul can perfectly witness

either in their affronting view

without getting hurt

in any unredeemable way

such over powering of pleasure

only further mocks

the masochistic human mind............
