Poem -

Crestfallen.

Crestfallen.

Curse of the poet. 
I'm a creature of habit.
I repent and I sin. 
But never shall I admit. 
You were my emerald,
Diamond and silver.
And I, your ruby stone,
Smoke and mirror. 
My mouth filled,
With your aftertaste.
Let faith bloom inside me.
I'm just a toxic waste.
A tired body carrying 
The heart of a sinner. 
With a saint's blood.
Never was I an abstainer. 
-U.J

Lovely poem, as always, UJ.

My mouth filled,
With your aftertaste.

Did it taste anything like blood, perhaps? Kinda coppery, with an iron ambiance?
Heh-heh-heh...

Sun-kissed.

I fall under it's gaze,
Warm and peaceful.
A curtain of gold silk
Flows over my head...
