Crimson Flower

    ~Crimson Flower~

 

 

That day there were scattered petals

And seeds to be sown

 

When light faded from sight

Only darkness rose

And remained ever-present

 

Betrayal birthed betrayal

And now

Bitter as a soured fruit

The seed has blossomed

 

Desolation

Deception

Subjugation born of fear

 

At last

To sever a thick thread

The knife was thrown

 

Now

Shadows blaze and burn

Sever light and lay

Dormant

 

Vivid crimson

Darkest black

A being of the night

A complex existence

 

To shoulder it all

Even now

There’s a single soul

 

Guilt

Madness

Rage

 

 

From these depths of turmoil

A dark red blossomed

 

Vines of roses

Dared to ensnare

A thorned crimson

Birthing seeds

And bright white blooms

 

Hope

Love

Redemption

 

A mixed white and crimson

Reaching toward something

 

Steps carry on

 

And can then two sides

Join at the center seam?

Can two stories

Create an ancient book?

 

A crimson flower

Bearing all

 

Hope and Hate

Redemption and Subjugation

Queen and Monster

 

Finally before

The greatest moment

A fearless darkness

Stands to burn

Through the cloudy unknown
