An Inevitable Death
An Inevitable Death
The sky cries scarlet tears from bloodied white clouds forming across a sun’s fury as it burns the earth Its weeping sadly not enough to douse the flames of disregard Neglect cheap Blinding us to inconceivable perils now impossible to reverse An inspired carpet of verdant forest floor destroyed by the punishing wrath of an angry creator Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Earthweal openlink weekend RDP - Inspired Carpet Image by Unhttps://unsplash.com/photos/icrhAD-qidcsplash

The scent surrounds me
From miles of ancient forest
Wonderous smell of pine

The forest lures me
With its majestic beauty
Inviting me in

Moonlight
In a moon punctured velvety sky
The stars shone like bright lights
Glinting through pinholes reminiscent of
A thousand and one Arabian nights
A backdrop dramatic in its splendor
Showcasing the beauty of nature’s jewels
She reclined on a blanket of leaves
Her eyes drawing him into her limpid pools
The young and petulant girl had matured
She was now beautiful and seductive
Contrarily he remained socially awkward
Heuristic in his approach and still selective
Her infinite beauty was breathtaking
He felt rooted in the earth
A feeling of inadequacy consumed him
As he suffered in his dearth
She enthralled him on the forest floor
Devouring his manhood as she wished
Helpless in his efforts to dissuade her
Laying still until completely ravished
They lay holding each other tight
As if the other might disappear
Clinging to the sweet memory of love
Staring up at the celestial sphere
She was everything he had dreamed of
Although his superstition had given him fear
She elegantly propped herself on one elbow
And said, “Did you bring any beer?”
