Lace these faux emotions
In trickery
To drench this void
Hungering for devotion
With flaming apparitions
Of sooth

Wrapped in debris
Of florid sensibility, wasted
Violets burgeoning
In the spaces
Between my ribcage
Turned toxic
These deflated veins
Eviscerated of content.

What was, constellates
At my feet
Like fathomless thoughts
Coiled around spirit
Like ivy
What is, consumes
And unsettles
These rayless irises
The halo that unhinged
To become a different shadow

The shadow of death
Seeps through the fissures
In the walls
Carefully sculpted
Arcadian descent
Ominous, fated
Where has this life
Drained away to
All that remains is
Discarded fervour
Inertia's unflinching grip

Past the border of
illusionary threadbare mirth
Lies blinding white
A penumbra of defeaning static
Looming over the being
The violent hollow that consumes
And never dies.

Dandelion dust
Erupting in your wake
Am I the shadow now
Hungering for a hint
Of your glow
The murk on your halo
The effluence tarnishing
Your atmosphere
Gentle in your release

Tear it asunder
Forsake this
Impermanent delight
This craze
Bury it under the blanket
of your yesterday

My devotion
Carried away in the breeze
Unwelcome dwellings
Nestling in my core
Ripping through
An intrepid spirit
Fortified with humiliation
Recquainted with this avenue
Once more
Where fervour hangs it's boots
Am I the shadow now, my sweet
Tugging at the hem of your trousers

Bed of chaos
Colliding warmth with tremble
Skin meshed with skin
Tongues meeting in the midst
Of fiery tandem breathes
Sensual haze
Laced with amorous fever
Gentle carress
Awakening
Shivers of electricity pulsating
Inside of blood
Burning throughout souls
Hearts throbbing
Outside of chests
Afire with emergent need
My earth wet
Ready to bury your treasure
In me

Impending doom reeks
Of a stench I cannot erase
Enswathed in condensed
Dithery smog
A chasm sighs open
As vast as the blue
In which I submit
To the pull of the tide
Without sound
Fade into ether
Exhale

Fathomless sentiment
Lingers in the trenches
Of a vacuous chest cavity
Devouring what remains
This freezing flame
Beneath skin,
Seething mercury
The wordless ache
Contained in the belly's pit.

A tomorrow draped in murk
Domiciled in the moons shadow,
Recoiled
I'll betray my chemistry
To quell the the ache
Congealed at my feet
off the path of reason
These winds casting me
Adrift
To rest my bones
On fleeting conscious

The phantasma of bliss
Trails my blood
Lulling the deafening
Sounds of calamity's foreboding
This spent gift of reprieve
Acidic destruction brewing
In the tip of fingers
Break to bloom
The lingering everblack
Subduing daybreak
Recoiled in nevermore
Biting my tongue
Holding tales of anguish
Beneath my tenuous breath
