POETRY | FREE VERSE | HEARTBREAK
An Elegy to Leo …
Lead me, O’ procession of embers!
Lead me to the grave.
Lead me to the secret gardens
and reveal all he says.
Life was too short to know he was the one –
If only the signs were as bold as my wild Leo moon.
Yet, Life captured us, entwined us for a reason,
for many reasons we never knew …
It shrouded us with glowing eyes of red
from hell’s gate like a burning match racing
round and round and round! All the way
round to your garden’s gates.
Though these embers still seem to persevere,
despite us burning off our spark,
they keep me alive with haunting screams of air
striking my dreams with a trench in my throat
cascading deeper than all the cuts
carved into our backs — Those knives still linger.
Lead me, lead me, lead me, or perhaps deceive me,
for I still yearn to believe in the light of
my love, my life, the Leo moon.
