Mahogany Hilt

A ballad of vengeful murder

The pristine scarlet blood drop
agonizingly
cascades
from the sharpened blade~~~

Venture into finality inspired
depths reveal
mortal wound
no stitches can repair the damage~~~

The tip of the knife grazed
punctured
silhouettes
exposing the tortured heart~~~

Two forbidden lovers
overwhelmed
overpowering
secrets hidden in mystery~~~

Devoured by intense desire
recklessness
arrogance
discovered by the furious, spurned wife~~~

Madness shown in the sparkle
revenge plotted
vengeance sought
murderous vibrato resonates in surrounding silence.......
