My Slate Blue Disobedient Heart

I kept it million miles away from the noxious world
Enveloped it inch by inch no matter seethed my blood and burnt my veins
I thrust off the simmering and stifling ravenous air of disgust
The horizon unfolding shadows in olive, yellow and russet
Choking fumes of taunts i engulfed, rescued its dust from rust

Alas on that misfortune eve, it saw.....

Weak Whispers of withered palest rattling roses
And ivory stars dangling by the crimson moon its soft flushes
It fell prey to the falsehood and subterfuge of the Universe
Like a disobedient child my slate-blue heart
To market its fears among turf coloured seers came out unmasked...
