BUT
why so sad
you’d be pretty if you smiled
throw a punch

a secret laid bare
shimmering and breakable
splendor in the grass
icy mystery
moonlight reveals a glimmer
winter’s calling card
crazy love consumes
undone by your sublime text
heart eclipses mind
the moment permeates all
and the center cannot hold

I imagine heroin
unguarded wonder
my mind immersed in brightness
trying to find my way home
Thanks for the inspiration to FOWC and Tanka Tuesday.

embers turn to ash and bone
waiting for a spark
rekindled love fans the flames
the candle burns with fury
Today’s FOWC (CANDLE) and the WDYS photo prompt brought to mind fury and love and buried secrets… thus my bit of verse. Thanks to both for the inspiration.
