Description
Sandy Beaches
White and glittering
Blowing in the hot wind
Sloping down toward
The softly lapping wavelets

of red

Of rouge: frothy and dark,
almost black.
Staining the porcelain sands.
Turning their innocent
twinkling
into a gruesome, gaudy display.
Gleaming evilly as they congeal
Caking the sand together
into crusty puddy.

Surging waves now,
beating harder, relentless
against the beach
that is slowly changing color
as the scarlet tide rises.
Winds pick up, whipping the
remaining white specks
into a frenzy.

They fly about madly
trying to flee the
deliberate, steady, spreading

pool of blood

Of lies, of tears left unshed.
Of tortured cries that
will never ring into the night.
Silent pleas for help.

Purity is lost to the encroaching

pool of Doubt.
