Scarlet wrists...

Scarlet wrists...

A Poem by An owl on the moon
"

For a friend who was cut...

"

 

 

Scarlet wrists and azure eyes

Bleeding lips tell bloody lies

My words to seal your painful scars

Your eyes to gaze at golden stars

Within the passages of night

Your heart will be like candlelight

And true to life will be your soul

To sever chains and make you whole

In darkest water did you sleep

And crystal tears in shadows weep

Your life was chained to stone and steel

Now take my hand and you will heal

Your onyx hair stroked crimson bold

Your soul more beautiful than gold

More lasting than a sunset sky

More fragile than a butterfly

Your precious heart grows stronger still

And in the end will move your will

To rise above the losting world

Of castles built with jewels and pearls

And on that day shall you go forth

So strong in spirit to the north...

I take from this that no matter what happens to us or what we do to ourselves, there is a place inside of us that can rise stronger and those scars are a reminder of our battle wounds. We are warriors in Spirit, fighting against all that weighs us down and shackles us.

"Within the passages of night

Your heart will be my candlelight"

You are truly "seeing" by the light of the heart of this loved one. You walk in the pain, and through it both of you reflect one another's strengths...you pulling the beloved through the dark waters, and the beloved giving your knowledge through experiences of such, a purpose-- making your own suffering that much more beautiful!

I truly can appreciate both the value and beauty of this write. Lovely piece my friend!

Craig, this is stunning. Words cannot express how much I love this!! Robin is right, completely your signature style, so vivid with colorful images painted on the canvas as only you can. Wonderfully done, my friend. :)
