turning ashen

 

I’m turning ashen

In winter months

Away from summer kiss

Skin turns pale

As though deaths hands

Cress this body gently

These legs, these arms

This chest, this face

 

 

Lose the earthen bliss

 

And I feel lost in a

Mirror reflection de

Un mejor not me

 

 

With a white face and

 

Dark eyes

In weeks to come

I’ll got back to being

Brown and blessed

 

 

And smiles will fit

 

Like earlier times

Before I had forgotten

That these eyes may go blind

Slowly opening to a visage not the one

Last seen by the spirit

I’m going ashen in these winter months

Waiting for summers kiss to reclaim this body
