Mahogany Hilt

The pristine scarlet blood drop
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � agonizingly
� � � � � � � � � � � � � �cascades
from the sharpened blade~~~

Venture into finality inspired
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � depths reveal
� � � � � � � � � �mortal wound
no stitches can repair the damage~~~

The tip of the knife grazed
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �punctured
� � � � � � � � � � � silhouettes
exposing the tortured heart~~~

Two forbidden lovers
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �overwhelmed
� � � � � � � � � � � � �overpowering
secrets hidden in mystery~~~

Devoured by intense desire
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �recklessness
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �arrogance � �
discovered by the furious, spurned wife~~~

Madness shown in the sparkle
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � revenge plotted
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � vengeance sought
murderous vibrato resonates in surrounding silence.......
