WL Schuett

Soft

 

A fever of superstition 

nipping at a butterfly.

a shared adversary 

bounded by secrets . 

Her eyes a soft 

quiet brown. 

 

A plate spinner

in a vast forest of lies .

The embodiment of the thorn . 

The essence of the Rose . 

The soft hand of dusk 

pulled down the night . 

 

Not recognizing the borders 

balanced on a bottle of wine . 

Hypnotized by the color 

of spectral vibrations. 

Her voice was soft and calm . 

 

Knowing that life oscillates 

between the adventurous 

and the ridiculous . 

The heart she 

hadn’t wanted to give away , 

softly broke .
