Shadows of Crimson

Shadows of Crimson

In the hush of twilight's hollow breath,
She stands, a wisp in mourning's embrace.
Ebon silk cascades like liquid sorrow,
Pooling at her feet in an elegy of grace.

Crimson petals scatter—fragments of heartache,
Each bloom a whisper of love now lost.
They bleed their fervor on the ashen soil,
A fleeting warmth in winter's frost.

The forest holds its solemn gaze,
Sentinel to secrets she dares not speak.
Her fragile hands cradle the bloom of despair,
A relic of passion, fleeting and weak.

The wind murmurs truths she cannot hear,
Echoes of a time before the ache.
Yet in her stillness, a seed of hope lingers,
Waiting for dawn’s tender light to break.

In this tableau of grief and yearning,
Life and loss entwine their song.
The blackened gown, a canvas of endings,
The crimson petals, love enduring strong.
