Overwhelmed under ink
Embraced in traces of her
Drenched in an elegy
He whispered a tale
Both strange to the tongue and mind
Yet strong as a scent on an animal farm.
Tilling time to seek a smile
He took his chance
Drawing tears in darkness.
Yet when it was dawn
Another story stood true
Awash with scarred face.
Swashed with emotion
He penned her words
Yet backwards they landed on paper.
Before tonight
I take no vow of silence
Nor, do I pleasure in grief
Enticed by the forbidden offer
Seeking to persuade for just a bite
Into a heaven and earth regrets seal.
Looped in contention
Before disapproving skies
I scatter the will to stand
Plucking a beautiful rose
To warm my side in tears
Deflowering the innocence of birth
As calm breeze questions the act
Paint stained of guilt
Of tearing purity veil
Before tonight
