The muse and I share the draw of a hookah
Lie awake on the waft of a sea breeze
Ruffling the curtains of silk on an angels hair
Moonlight flows majikally through the window
Breaking as the pages turn of poetic tome
Peel gowns flowing silkily of insatiable desire
Implant acid dipped in lace syringed in silver
Pulsating veins of blue as head rush increases intensity
Flickering eyelids attest to the play in another land
Peel crackling paint from the ceiling taste the indifference
Unfurl and climb Repunzel’s golden trusses lift to the stars
Skip and dance from Orion's Belt to the plains of the Moon
A fall will cause no pain as pain is intolerable to the dead

elegant imagery.
Happy Rally.
Thanks for your feedback on my rally entry--and for sharing this piece. I love the contrast of silk and acid, peeling paint and the golden ladder of hair.
:) hmmm escapism at its best!
enjoy the rally!

Beautiful imagery paired with a dark subject matter - nicely done! Love it! Thanks for sharing :)
The darkness and beauty of your poem really is wonderful. You write with exquisite emotional pitch points.
