An Easing Red

Folder: 
2004

Silent knocking hello

Of a forbidden wanderer

Waiting for his

Single dropped poison

To consume me

Drowsed in a dream

Of a romantic darkness

One that holds

The ebony of a soul

Stuck in the hollow tides of

Dark, cold, damp sand

Dim, brisk, dew of night

The array of dirt rotted shells

Leaves a message

Of intriguing enlightment

These tiny companions can relate

Trapped inside by their morals

Contains itself, though still

A hole,

A tunnel,

A chamber,

Rethinking

My mind alone

The irony

I'm never alone

Held captive by an unwanted guest

The sickening full-mouth

Sonorous silence

Is ripping away my skin

Eating away my independence

Only a thief had the heart

He stole my soul

Don't accuse me

I never felt the pain

Never saw the red

Easing down my arms

Who has done it?

Not I

Not Mine

Not me
