MISTRESS

Dark. The meaning will be left to reader interprutation for now.

MISTRESS

Autumn sheds tears of rain.

Leaves fade away,

as life blows away in the wind.

Sorrow sings a lullaby,

gentle, and full of agony.

 

Winter laments a time past.

Fall in love with purity,

yet in lust lay with tragedy.

Devoted to the one of love,

yet enslaved to the mistress.

 

The lover wails in lament.

A nail sinks deeper,

piercing divine flesh.

The mistress enslaves with a touch,

arousing death within.

Reviews

[hershey's kiss]

very abstract.
but the metaphors are well-written.
I could think of a number of things the poem could mean, and I'm sure any other reader could come up with several more.
your style is mysterious, but captivating.
very good.
