The Fragrance of Pain

The blind fool in her
rushes forward, reaching
the balustrade, ice cold
metal tightly gripped
within trembling hands

Her heart lies wrapped
in a bouquet, deep inside the
baggage she wears,
a cement weight

A methodical,
hypnotic melody rises
from the rushing waters

Leaning ...
No longer
feeling the weight
against her chest

No longer hearing
the silence that comes
from the empty eyes
of a lover

And the fingers of fate that
hide in the wind carry
her away in the rain ...

Now, if you come to this bridge
on night like this one...
You'll hear his whispering cries
For the petals of love he left out in the rain
still carry the fragrance of pain

"...I am a river in winter,
quiet in the eyes of most
but deep,
swift and full of life
to one, lucky enough to fall through the ice.
