ruby red
Rated: E | Poetry | Mystery | #1621349
her hair was spun ~ magic

                   her hair was spun
                   by gypsy moths
                   and weaved with ribbons
                   ruby red
                   her eyes
                   a shade of cappucine
                   gave life to every
                   dream or dread

                   she spoke in words
                   not one could know
                   a language
                   only she could speak
                   a universe
                   where all was love -
                   would curse the sailor's
                   longing - weak

                   her fragile hands
                   a raven's wing
                   fluttered soft the beat
                   of care
                   a blossomed white
                   gardenia sweet
                   was her perfume
                   a lover's fare

                   she breathed
                   ten thousand years
                   of light
                   and knew of things
                   most men could not
                   she harbored tears
                   for what was spent
                   and spoke with kind
                   of love
                   forgot

                   what time was hers
                   no one could say
                   another birth
                   from sorrows cost
                   what kiss was made
                   to give away

                   what ruby red
                   a gypsy moth
