THE BLEEDING SKY

The night, the sky bleeds blood

Colouring the world in a ruddy hue

The stars shuddering with mortal fear

The moon fossilized, taking a cue.

I will carve my pounding heart out

My passions on display for you to inspect

The chambers brimming with affection

A bit of adulation, loads of respect           

The tears I shed will all be yours

My sonnets, reaching only your ears

Recounting a story long forgotten

By my dearest, over the years

Till the night, the sky bleeds blood

Colouring the world in a ruddy hue

Let my eyes convey the message

Affirming my timeless love for you…
