MACABRE ENDINGS

seeing is believing 

bloody-minded Queen
with an unquenchable thirst for blood
transforms human hearts
into centuries-old lace
to watch them crumble like ash

free verse poem

MACABRE ENDINGS

 peace be with you 

blood moon rises
renting darkness asunder
while ravenous predator
cleans its bloodied claw –
a skylark’s song stills

free verse poem

MACABRE ENDINGS

redistributed

after the storm
during a period of unrest
distraught black rose
relinquishes her fallen petals
into darkening seas

free verse poem

MACABRE ENDINGS

 evidence 

silent witness eyes
the softest whisper –
blood dripping from white blossoms
into deep dark heaps
trickling away into rivulets
