I am but a leech, desecrating in lilly glossed waters; Clotting beautiful beads, like bracelets, across wet flesh. Desire is a horseman in this world, coming to close the curtains on the day. Why stop? For lashes from the scepter that was to guide us? Fractured and rotten; yet we still cling for a taste of a crumb of the life once held within it's dead trunk. Death. But an old friend and a forgotten enemy greedily tickling this slicken frame. Fingers float tempting whispers to my every nerve and I long for my senses to set ablaze in those writhing clutches Screaming from inside for release that teases and tingles like the ****** that never comes. Shaken and slightly shrunken Light blazes at the doors, searing and scorching the very flesh that holds a withered frame No longer seeking escape, I slither back to the darkness I seem to have forgotten was home once before
