Scarlet Flower

Lost, infinite tramping, hastened marching,

The screaming of the scarlet flower,

I heard.

With nothing but the glimmer of my dark and

Shadowed footprints in the wrinkles of my palm,

I saw.

A wondering light of blue and purple, Brighter than white,

Clear as the tint on your glasses. Warmer than violet,

I felt.

Your eyes so beautiful, it answers all the puzzles of me:

If love was a flower that speaks, you would be its seed

If love was a glimmer of the past, you would be its cradle

Love is your eyes that motivates the sun to rise

Love is the scarlet eyes of you that stares only at another

Love is the way I look at you, but you only in him

The screams of the scarlet flower, I force myself to hear

The flower's love for him, my greatest desideration

The outpour of love that flooded another, my sole necessity

How I wish love was a speaking flower for me to riddle

How I wish love was a blinding lumen that only you can emit

How I wish love was a feeling only you can make feel

But I, in a galaxy full of wondering stars, stay silent

And watch over you. Waiting for a chance to see

Those scarlet eyes look at him once more,

 

Hoping to feel too.

I did not particularly like this line, "How I wish love was a feeling only you can make feel" sounded a little awkward. However, I really loved the rest of the poem. I loved the imagery and the descriptions. Well done.

Thanks for sharing!
