A Scarlet Botticelli.

By Pride Ed

The violence of roses tangled
In redolent blooms throughout her hair.
“Forgive me,” Venus said to herself,
As she struggled with the piercing layers.

She parted her tangled strands
Like the turbulent sea had parted her shell,
Within this brume around curly waves
Of blood and blonde so frail.

    An image that vividly pays homage to the tragedy PE. Starkly surreal and high marks for the artistry of your words as well.
