Chapter 38: evanescenctly in full bloom

bloodredroses | poetryWords: 1143

I see ivy leaves

climb up upon,

entwine on our facades,

I watch -

as they break down all our pretty barricades.

our water's glistening in aquamarine,

turning winter into spring

again - I watch and I'm wondering

how everything comes in waves,

reflect in the surface today

until it cascades, tomorrow.

'now' is a fragile word

but we've got to embrace it too -

turning scars into stars

and silver line my crescent moon,

do it for the art -

this is our tender age in bloom.

and I don't really know what else I could do,

all I know is that these are the days that must happen to you

so hush! - just take another glass or two

one more time - before the sun comes up again,

before too late becomes too soon.

heyy... just wanted to stop by to say I haven't published anything in some time 'cause a lot of the things I've been writing lately didn't sound quite right to me - but I finally put this little piece together and I really hope you enjoy it. :))

thanks for reading!❤️
