Blossoms of Death

My heart beats

A new rhythm

Destiny unfolds

And journeys begin

Unknown twists and turns

This road is one of solitude

A path with no return

All bridges must be crossed

These tangled rivers

Will in time reveal the truth

This turmoil within

Envelops me

While awaiting

The torturous pass

Of the night

And all the while

The dark red

Blossoms of death

Playing heedless in the shadows

Are ever whispering

In my ear
