I envy that is shared your crimson touch.
Beneath your lip print, Van Gogh’s Starry Night, it’s luster lost
compared to lips as such.
The candle flickers like a firefly.
I blow it out.
You’re gone.
What can I say?
The stars swirl on within the deep, blue sky.
I sigh and wipe the scarlet brand away.

oregon_galover 18 years agoexpertly said. lovely to read. like a sweet cherry, i savored it!
YDDalmost 20 years agowistful melancholy
but a little choppy
and uneven.
question:
Should "is" in line 2 be "it"?
Is "it's" in line 3 supposed to be a contraction or possessive?
Anonymousalmost 20 years agoand nicely written. I agree with Syndra, nice to see a new poet producing such work here.
