Emblem of Love

A poem inspired by Pearl, from The Scarlet Letter.

 

Red lines across the sky

I feel your tiny hand in mine

The passion of your heart prevails

To make the pain in mine unveiled

Innocent beside the brook

Like a little elf you look

All dressed in red and lacy things

Like my guilt, my heart it stings

Stay with me, my little Pearl

Reveal my love unto the world

Emblem of my guilt and pain

Who knew love left such a stain

Kiss me, now, my precious child

Then I must leave you for a while
