Dying Roses and Worm’s Wood

Her breath is sweet,
Like dying roses.
And orchids grown,
Within a family crypt.

Her skin, the alabaster shade
Of an early grave
And a stoic
Marble tomb.

Her love is full,
Like that of a closed casket
Of the step child
Of a vicious mother.

Her kiss soft,
Like the leaves
Of a Worm’s wood
And of loose soil.

Her life cheery
As a winter’s rain,
Or a cliff-bound obelisk,
Marking her passing.

    You have profound thoughts.

    Beautifully dark imagery and vivid metaphors

    • Thanks! A lot, well most of my poetry is more of thought vent. So they tend to have darker connotations and symbolism.
