Deep flames of inner ecstasy
     throbbed
and murmured
as I chewed out my own tongue.

A steady beat of gurgling blood
     pulsated in my head,
inciting such glorious vibrations
I reached
     deep in my ears
and ripped the sound away.

Silently laughing voiceless promises,
streams of brilliant crimson
     poured downwards.

The rich trails of red
    filled my eyes
with blinding euphoria and,
unable to cease,
my dripping hands
    pried out
those glittering orbs.

Warm spatters of blood
     escaped through the gaping sockets
soaking skin in waves of delight.

Too much.

Quivering with pleasure I
     threw myself
to the flames.
     Burning nerves splendidly erupt
          into smoke.

At last,
the charred traces of my smoldering flesh
     rose elegantly
to my nose.

At last,
I felt the world disintegrate
    back into black.

As the final senses burned away,
     tears trickled from vacant sockets.

          Oh god,
               this is love.
