Study in Watercolour

A Boy With Roses

through candlelit pathways, through evergreen                                                            

through pink clouds drifting                                                                                

climbing through the leaden sky                                                                        

the loneliest star on earth, soaring high                                                      

when I close my eyes, I see your face aching with sorrow                                                

like a birdsong deep in my veins                                                                                      

the worst things always happen at the most inconvenient time                                        

like a calling translucent and stagnant                                                                                                                  

my little spring bean is drenched in blue misfortune                                                        

my hands are draped in wet blood                                                                      

cleaving to the memory of youth in summer                                                                    

your head wounded and my nerves wrecked                                                                

we hang here, suspended in time                                                                                                                    

two bodies rotating and thoughts concurrent                                                                              

beautiful in death, I seen how they washed you                                                              

they put you through loops and ate at your insides                                                          

like the kind of pain you'll never forget                                                                              

I see the way life treated you, and how all you ever wanted                                            

was to feel the rain on your fingertips.

    Reading it felt like a painting that one goes into. Kinda Mary Poppins like but with a more continental feel -VanGogh, Vermeer and the French and Italians too.
