Your fever touch burns me to the core Rancid with the smell of flesh Brittle boned and fragile to transparency Scatter me high and low Bitter sweet familiar hands Warming like a lover''s touch Yet piercing of a thousand swords Stripped naked Raw with exposure There is nothingness, or so it seems Beyond your wicked hold Your essence, like fear retreating The departure as hasty as you came I breathe out, blue and ill with your residue Creeping, sculking sun, soothe my pain A rebirth in me Until you come again... |
