Canvas.

Imprisoned
to the depths
of turbid waters
long submerged
is the weight of
a bruised heart
its flesh marred
by the beating
of a tide’s unrest.

Numbed
are her fists upon
splintered walls

the scarlet flow
of secrets divulged
onto a tapestry-
a living portrait
unveiled
for all to see.

She.

Beauty

weaved from

gossamer threads.

Passions florid

fed by

flames.

Strength

of diamonds-

loveliness undying.

You are a woman, exquisite.
