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

redistributed
after the storm
during a period of unrest
distraught black rose
relinquishes her fallen petals
into darkening seas
free verse poem
evidence
silent witness eyes
the softest whisper –
blood dripping from white blossoms
into deep dark heaps
trickling away into rivulets
