Red Lotus

A pond with opaque water

Houses an enormous lotus

Coloured blood red

Like a curse

From the underwater's dead.

 

It blooms there magnificently

Like a ruby in the mud

Attracts poets and passengers

That marvel the water colored blood

Stop to see the carcass, horse's.

 

I love this flower

Love how it blooms innocently

Love its red veins

Love how it stands there simply, sinfully

While it breakthroughs beauty chains.

 

Oh red Lotus, tell me

Those people buried at your feet

How can't they not result

In your graceful defeat?

[To righteousness, your beauty is an insult]
