SCARLET'S POETRY/HAIKU

Scarlet's Irony

My life dances to
The tune called Irony...
As my spirit soars
With exuberance
Born of child
My body has been laid claim.
To a wasteland of disease
Slowly awaiting to take hold,
To claim victor over me.

To cease...
But I am one of a champion
And those who come close
Know that the handcuffs
Bound for my existence
WIll be hard-pressed
As long as I take breath
Love for life, will
Remain in me.
