Sinister Spinster

by Rasha Omer

Behind quadruple shadows of
fear.

drain the thoughts of a curious future.

in between centuries, lives afloat.
in between lives, blood spelt grief.

disdain in the mother's breath.
fragile owls weep and wail.

Behind triple shadows of fear,
my dear.

That cursed elixir of love.
Rot in oblivion, little boy.

Behind double shadows of fear,
steer clear.

Clash and crash,
encounters, brash.
Come and go,
stay here, then
bask in my cage of
desolation and
frail ghosts, will befriend
your heart.
Of glass.

Behind a single shade of fear,
sneer.

Let's create a bliss of psychosis,
in hollow's mist.

Your sanity is
underneath my pain.
That old wretched voice,
you claim your own.

Dance inside my
flesh. If you may.
Inside your wrinkles,
in your skin,
I'll swim.

Behind an empty space,
still there is fear.

Still there is fear.
