Caught in aging serpentine-
The lure of Mecca…
I did indulge the temptation thrill,
I let it poison every cell,
Until those treacherously chills
Forced me sprint through waters.
In my luggageable disarray
One fingerprinted day is saved forever;
The burning light inside me
Met the flicker of the welcome,
The wily shortage at the golden portal.
My blindfolded eyes did see
The sea of stars beneath my feet-
Bright fires- never touched, but dreamed.
In burning dance I let me free
To dim the pain,
To lessen my desire.
The many dances I repeated
To beg for more I did…
Could nothing humble my intense,
My blackened feet ashed down for forgiveness.
I swilled another scandalous despair;
So, in my thirst- just let me be…
Wow. This was powerful imagery here...Beautiful piece.
