Faded Henna


















Leaving loudly

Like a faded Henna
upon memory's silky texture
your aging love

Like visionary browned meadows
crying tenderness bygone



like a writer's flowery pen
pinning language's butterflies
on each question mark.

This is really lovely, you can almost touch it, and breath it in like a fresh cool breeze.
