Crushed

Girl in the dark
Fallen under the trees
Wild nights of passion
Beneath the scented bush;
Free as the winter breeze
Leaves that carry the mixed fragrance
Of almost forgotten past
Wind that whispers through the scrub
Thick and thin, like the buzz of a bee;
She, who slumbers coldly
Soft head buried in arms,
Still listening for the tranquil voice of her lover
Waiting, as tides come and go
And the chill of the draught
Once again moans and mourns;
Weeping, endlessly
Impending insanity
The black night has no sympathy,
And nor do the harsh rasps of the birds;
However still this world may be,
Enveloped by the shrouds of nature
'Tis ever so harsh to her sullen ears
Lost in the darkness of eroded years...


And ever quiet, unable to cope with the grief
The pain, the loss, the unjust tragedy
Bringing to an end the timeless memories,
Shadows glare as seeping blood
Is drained onto a fallen leaf.
Brought forth by incoherent act
And forced to face reality
The course of nature, the trees
Under which she first fell into his arms with glee
And sought sweet darkness, forever;
As the dew of fresh rain trickled through
And sunlight blinded her with lust
She stumbled into the dirty dust
Her moist eyes clouded over; hazed
Dazed by confusion over one true love;
The crickets chirped there endlessly
And blood-red roses grew;
There, where she first encountered pain
Innocence lost to womanhood
Surrendering to her heart's beckoning call;
Opened up and given as she so wilfully sinned
Blinded by nothing but immortal desire
She rests now, peacefully, heart on fire
And sleeps with the dying gust of wind.


The only guarantee in Life, is Death. - The Lord Buddha

Loved the end. Dark and beautyful, my kind of poetry.
