A Thorny Delight Comments

Some incisive wording here, the images cutting and powerful. Love the worst of you will get the best of me, the matches metaphor, and the vivid imagery of blood stains under a colourless moon. Very well done. Bravo. :)

You have a very fine command of imagery and the concluding line is sensational. And the contrast of pale colours (the Moon, ashes) and the red images is beautifully constructed. A fine intelligent poem.
