If I Metaphor, Will You Simile?

Blood black roses

bloom in my ears

and the salty brine taste

of your bittersweet tears

write pages of prose

matching foibles and fears

bruising the brave

for days and for years

 

Blue-bloodied noses

dark(en)circle my eyes

May fly failures

in see-thru disguise

carelessly complex

the posture implies

ample adversity

in complacency cries

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
