A serene cottage upon a dreary hillside Where my mind's listless galaxy of neurons Synapse in the absolute darkness, Is painted in Victorian hues, cold and haunting.
Dejection rains down from the leeward sky With nothing harkened save for the ocean's Stormy roar and a desolate lighthouse, Beckoning through the fog and memoirs of the past.
The deeper my soul is carved out with sorrow, The deeper the hollow can be filled with joy. But alas, I feel nothing of joy but only a void Left by the dagger of yesterday's darkening tragedies.
I feel the rain soothe my skin and kiss my cheek Like the sweetest lover on midnight's embrace, Yet my moth-eaten quilt of memories only seems Enough to shelter our legs but ne'er our feet.
My heart feels the warmth of an autumn fire, Kindling in the crisp rain, bleeding beneath A rose where we burn in the endless torture Of our own despondence.
I can feel the blood in my veins turning to fire As I imagine her fingertips unzipping my spine As though it were full of secrets and mysteries Unbeknowst to myself...
I can feel the inferno that rages within my aortic arch Every moment I imagine losing myself within her Eyes, glimmering like an eclipse over a midnight Sea...the Sleepless Coventry.
She unlocks my secrets and weaves them in the bouquet Of tendrils in her hair like ribbons of crimson and light, Waving in the vehement northerlies with numbing scents Of argan and spice.
Her body is but a canvas wrapped neatly around a Paper mache skeleton, the most beautifully tragic Foundation known to humanity...
She arrives right on the equinox to set fire to my sorrow, Intoxicating me with her kiss and infecting me with her smile.
And so enters the conflagration of my soul, An annihilation of light, blackening my coronary Artery whilst shooting smoke through my cinnamon Whiskey tainted veins.
'Tis hard to look through such a misconstrued lens As such, the Vena Cava Kaleidoscope... Where the flames burn through the galaxy of neurons Expending the harrowing memories as its fuel.
I can see the magnetic alloy of her Cobalt eyes reflecting The fire that consumes me from the inside out. She pulls on me like the moon pulls upon the tide As she whispers with her soft, enamored sigh.
I burn in my silent knowing, my liquid mind Awakening in fervor and strange euphoria.
