Life Should Be

Life Should Be

Life should be a beautiful sunset bleeding beneath the willow trees.

A sorrowful love song birthed by fingers waltzing with keys. 

An antique painting of a Woman who used to be,

With eyes liquid soft and brown waves 

Crashing against the crushed pearls kissing her skin. 

Life should be an evening filled with emerald dusts swirling with

The dark heralds; 

As sweet as bitter poetry whirling between lips and flesh, 

And dissipating into the finite sky.
