Sanctuary

Into the darkness.

I retreat.

Calming flame.

Soothing steam.

Melancholy melody.

I want to capture the heat as it escapes my skin.

Let my pores inhale it again.

Hot and slick.

Light reflects my need.

My ache.

My longing.

For far away places.

Exploring the unknown cities in my mind.

Places I've never visited but are with me everyday.

So close.

This impossible oasis I can't seem to find.

Behind my eyes.

It hides

White heat.

Bliss in shades of pink and red.

Tear stained cheeks.

Purge the hurt.

And it becomes beauty.

My sanctuary.
