A Boy
The beautiful woman
A rapturous flower
Has been destroyed
By the untamed water
I n c o l d b l o o d
She remains an unforgotten memory
Burning inside the mind
A blissful moment cries
Into the foreboding night
A boy walks along the water
Yearning for the beautiful woman
Inside the mirror of his consciousness
Approaching the door to his home
The place where care was overflowing
From the beautiful woman
Unto himself
Underneath the new moon
Eerie silence
Within the darkened home
He pushes up the stairs
Behind the door lies a bloody knife
A pungent odor reeks of death
The boy stops
A slight p u s h
The door creaks open
A man steps out
Mad with grief
Attacks
The bloody knife will stab
The boy
Runs
Quickly down the stairs
Looking over his shoulder
Tripping on edge
A falter in step
Trapped and petrified
By the bloody knife
The man lunges
And drips glisten
The boy bleeds
Profusely
Painfully left alive
Leaning against the stone wall
The man
Watches in utter silence
As a warm flickering light
Engulfs the darkened home
Destroying all the evidence
And within the burning building
A boy
