we are phantoms

michael raven poems October 9, 2022 1 Minute

we are phantoms
you & i 
walking before
backdrops sunset
crimson to violet
gold inlaid in ribbon

your eyes aglow
of hazel & thorn
you take me down
to tall yellow grass
and feast me with
your song

Like a Gothic/Romantic love song.
Lovely, Michael.

  I suppose, considering the thoughts I had bouncing around in the empty shell attached to my shoulders, that is entirely as it should be. Thanks, Chris!
