To connect with a reclusive mind,
was an uphill task.
You become―
vunerable again.
Everyday the curtains
come down after the entry of
assassin bugs.
Long-legged, bloodsucking
predators would roam
and abduct the phrases.
The young turks break
the nest, petals strewn, a
rose dies in my hands.
My night journey begins
I let out a poem
to become my lantern.
Congratulations
On your 3000th post on PostPoems. Glad you came. It is a nice lantern. - slc
