I waited all so long

Care to share muse?

 

Can I be the one

Wrapped

In a petroleum blanket

of Flames

Your loneliness

makes me

Sweat

When all I can

do

is bleed

Breathe

Scorching

the cinder path

As ebony teeth

loosen

And I tear

Yellowed nicotine stained

fingernails

from the roots

of

extended

Talon’d fingers

tattoo’d

in Swirls

Living life

comforted in

strangers

Drink in

Eclectic

electric

cognitive realities distort

perceived

blurring in visions

through the eyes

coloured in waves

of the

ocean

And I

breathe

And I

bleed

And I

scream
