Scarlet

Caught inside the veins
Sliding through the gates
Eyes stung and lips burnt
It fell
Bend to meet the low
Dissolve into the dawn
Coarsing and soaring
It fell
Leading to
Whispering disappearing
Cannot leave a scar
“lover” she said
“you put the beat in my bones
It’s your light here in my hand
You make it easy to see”
It flows
Flows
Flows
Delicate arrows
Take over control
Something to temper the
Blow
Only seeing red
It’s rushing through the flesh
Parted
Waiting for the swell
Leading to
Whispering disappearing
Cannot leave a scar
“lover” she said
“you put the beat in my bones
It’s your light here in my hand
You make it easy to see”
It flows
Flows
Flows
Lover she said
Lover she said
