Blood
Suffocating black as the night sky
though I know it to be a lie
refrscted light subdued
by lifewaters darkened hues.
Splotched purple neath my skin
your gracious patience wearing thin
claiming I belond to you
fiery stare that flays me through.
Ochre power in my lungs
running over this lying tongue
steal away my silly dreams
finding what strength really means.
Rusty brown drying slow
if I dont believe I'll party below
contrarian spirit running free
your fears will never sleep with me.
Magenta fills these savvy hands
destroying yet another span
of time better used to learn
that one day soon I'll get my turn.
Final red that I stole
from scorching yet another bowl
spurning what you thought was love
sending you to tyrants above.
