Fallen Shadow

her shadow, fallen, beneath the weeping of emerald fields- barriers of broken wings never held her, they only left her breathless she longs for redemption for transgressions not her fault- for youth stole her innocence and she is left one day away from never ending solitude laden in restful slumber she dreams of fallen angels that should have saved her- they vowed to protect not neglect; she sat by the shattered sill and waited… WAITED FOR LOVE adrift the ivory snow is where she lived, above the hillside yet below the mount- seeking the winter chill to ease the heat of loss; ignited in blazing embers of hope burning, no longer safe inside the visceral temple she handcrafted so long ago she knew not how i felt for her- if only i could rest her head on my chest and we could be us... one more time i say farewell under the twilit harvest moon- walk away from her grave -once more- 26th of January 2020
