Forlorn Petals
-Drafting sorrows quenched in turbulence,
Eyes mismatched- quaint and trodden,
Swooning hearts brought to malice,
Roses and thorns- deftly coherent;
-She would have thought of world in ire,
A frontal fray, of bulimic disorder,
Nothing else- fell gluttony and perspire,
Dealt in blood- all but for dire;
-Eyes of blue, azure for the sky,
Blazed with cobalt, a steel betel high,
Mellowing her- with and without frailty,
Arousing her in impassioned flagrancy;
-Dealt no strikes, against the soft petals freer,
Brushed in countenance, so soft and without fear,
Flotsam of lust, brick to castle,
Beg without grace, mayhap to frighten;
-Lost to you- I am for naught but the truth,
Desires drunk in flagons of mood,
Woe to me- heart bringer of passion,
Lost to you- forever thru ashen;
-Steal from me, my purity and chaste,
Forever yours, I am for flesh,
Deep within me- blatant is lust,
Thorns to my rose, sharp yet robust;
-Day without passing- are you not to bring me peace?
Burgeon me with guilt- for what am I beast?
Seek me truer- yet you floss without heed,
Matter it not- my content to your fleet?
-Hope to be- not the gloom of petals' soot,
Nor to send- the triste of magnolia's toot,
Never to die- as last morsel of rue,
Only to be- the damning prick of your loot;
-Be to me, my heart's delight,
Quench my murk, so forlorn and contrite,
Ask me not, of what I desire,
For the truth is just,
Per you not pariah;
For my love for you,
Has naught but yet,
To bloom.
