My Red Chrysanthemum
Upon my road lie yellow chrysanthemums,
their cruel beauty smiled down on me
Pulling broken limbs along shards of glass,
scarlet trails are the marks I bleed
Stalking not far behind, it hungers
The ghost of my past that hates change
Fearing the chains that once bound me
I aching increase my solemn pace
Even After being lost in webs of torn trust
and lies heaped on my back as luggage
I saw no curve on my uncharted path,
as the cursed blooms laughed, I became sluggish
I escaped the darkness after many a year
I found that the flowers now shine white
Entranced by such spectacular divinity
I bump into an angel of equal sight
His healing aura washed over my dreary mind
giving peace I thought only death might bring
Gifting to me a bloom of crimson
and I felt my darkened heart sing
I was saved the day you came to me
and for the first time, I believed in the myth of love
Now, having abandoned my thorny road
I enjoy the sight of red Chrysanthemums
