Sullen Wave


Anonymous silk without color
learning her blush in the wiles
of her lover's tongue
She came to me at his passing
rouged with sullen wave
in the call of lonesome winds
billowing sadness conjured by a spell
of river long tears
And all I could do was pass the torch
my zeal for color long departed
black robed and far removed
from the rainbow's arching

This is hardly anonymous in the silken touch it leaves behind...
