Bluebells & Fuchsia

The dark red path,

littered with blood and bloom

and arced with portents of death.

Never easy to assume.

Bluebells and fuchsia,

with hints of loom

and bits of minutia,

points at certain doom.

What is hidden,

will be revealed.

To unveil the forbidden,

no longer concealed.

Bluebells and fuchsia,

with hints of loom

and bits of minutia,

points at certain doom.

Bones and flesh,

forever rest

in the rotted mesh

at his behest.

Bluebells and fuchsia,

with hints of loom

and bits of minutia,

points at certain doom.

 

*Note: The poem "Bluebells & Fuchsia" also appears in the fiction novel Bloodlust, which is the second book in the Bloodline Trilogy by Deborah O'Toole writing as Deidre Dalton.
