Moribund
The wind carries its song behind me As the leaves flutter about Slaloming through murky trees Rustled ferociously by a sudden spout From swirling auburn dust she rose Appearing like a goddess exhumed A juxtaposition one might suppose to a sprawling cemetery’s jejune In her sway my thoughts got mangled Within those lace patterns innocently festooned with mordant ruffles that strangled her feet as she pressed on diligently In an inferno of caution I drown As wounded heartstrings pull tighter the space between us shorter now As the flames rose higher and higher The heart is a poisonous delicacy It won’t ever listen to me Adhering loves dark residency Even my hands had turned thief Ushering themselves to delicately wave A gossamer of golden hair willfully Revealing two Saffire jewels that gave Her pale lips perfect symmetry Their intentions spread black disease Attune with the crescent moons peak And I can sense a gale breeze Skating across her fervent cheeks Those indigo lips lay trembling As did the pressing of them against mine Causing our battered souls assembly amidst a zillion whirling fireflies I started to unravel within such bliss And wanted to tell her of known truths About the devil she kissed ardent with scars of youth For the stars scream where I live spattering their pretty luminosity over the creature heaven deprived as a progenitor of many atrocities I spoke of gazebos black with shame and the smattering of insects breeding in decadent hives that came with echoes of a past misleading Because all this was peaceful before fatalism covered it in a vapid cloak That father time hastily tore Repurposing it as a yoke Now each day ends and begins In a ritual beside a cracked vanity tears cascading down porcelain skin begging to be purged this scab of humanity In darkness lies the brightest fire She broke through with animosity Fear not death for it is desire That brought you to me Leave the bosom of a life contrived Take your hand in mine child Bask once more where decay thrives in your pestilent witch gone wildVore SpaCe ::// A favorite of mine… It recalls everything I hold dear
