Pale skinny bones Blank white canvas Washed over with colors Standing alone in The Painted Desert Fingers pricked from a desert rose Bleeding heart stains my sleeves Erosion shows no mercy For exposed hearts Sleeping under open skies Feeling so alive Staring up at dying stars Hanging my dreams on crescent moons Petals slip out of open hands Blown over rolling dunes I found a better way to die This is a great way to die
