trickling out
into the tributaries
where watered down reflections
dissolve, intravenous pipes a line
infusing Mercy into the vein, in purple
passion to those that still struggle
the ending

no longer symphonic or joyful
the sound of the one you still cradle
held to the breast, in maternal expression
defiantly scratches at the gateway
bleached out by the mortality of
that haunting first kiss

this is where they linger

to the brown eyed blond, haunted
by her blue eyed redeemer

there is little solace
when the collosal rock, now a tiny stone
shuffles round and round
without the decency to disintegrate

Oh, this is delicious, Emma. Your poetry is always so deep I'm almost afraid to comment. You have a way of entwining your words as to give me absolute fits. I loved "the blue eyed haunt."

Amazing.
