Why am I the victim of my love? I had envisioned you a beautiful white dove. Crimson blood drenched in your feathers of snow While you fed off my pain. Why, I did not know. Moons ago you looked my eyes and said “An army of emotions to me you have led”. What did you mean then? Were they lies from the start? You threw me off-guard; I had not seen this poison dart. But alas, I took it in, trying to forget the past. I thought you were the one; our love would forever last.

I do not know how to describe it now, Beautiful nature limitless that night; The cascading gold at the mountain peak; The shimmering silvers against the stars; Emanating emeralds ethereal Blessing the sights whose eyes lay upon them; A ruby cave silent, but whispering “Forever I seek you, Purple Iris”.
