As I lay still
Consumed in the dark
Held to the core
By a feast of dreams
Words linger deep
Pulling me closer
A mind unraveling
Apart at the seams
One breath more….
I will be claimed
One whisper more….
I will abandon my name
One trickle more….
I will not be tamed
One sentence more….
I will burst into flames
Hands in the air
Reaching for chills
Tracing the wind
To surrender the night
Searching for curves
In a sheltering sky
Touch wrapped in fire
A memory in flight
One step closer….
I will give in
One word closer….
I will sink from within
One thought closer….
I will melt in my skin
One touch closer….
I will wake into sin
And as I lay still
Awake in mercy
At rest in the arms
Of late evening haste
I tremble at shadows
The darkness has made
Fading into sleep
For the next dream to chase
