the jewels of cytherea {abstractive edit}


adonis, gone before his time
swallowed in adulations blithe
so beautiful, his last goodbye
that flight of fancy lullabye

this love was wrong and thus romance
at second glance, no second chance
for innocence
just shamed regrets

for despite his wants he’d none
as sheltered from the sun
as unfathomed by the young

while his life was brushed aside
by the ebbing of the tide
among the star-crossed paramours
his starkly shadowed, grim, demure

remembrance of the jewels he’d stained
they bloom the colors of his pain
surrounding, aching forever
to bleed his heart into her...
