Once upon a time
grief was but an impatient
child hungering & emeralds
stared haughtily at new
blossoms

an amaranthine pursuit
best told in secret
for eyes despised such
weaknesses as unrequited
or broken heart

three words linger

wisps of past tangled
in naked trees hoping
rebirth under a shower
of stars where untethered
dreams ascend

shallow the grave
bearing witness
to past offerings
for once upon a time
grief was but an
impatient child
hungering...

Oh goodness me, this is really pretty.
Love the free fall and breathless feeling this left me with.

Wonderful poem, Sunkissed lady~~
