Paint the Clouds With Matchsticks
By Fading_Smile
Drowning in the fumes of carnal agonies and idle footprints
Forever will I cower in the east, taking refuge in shame
Waiting for my scarred soul to blemish with sundown
Oh deliverer of solace
thief of my own ambience
I crave smothering darkness
to fullfill your astray bliss
My gaze feinted like the west boasts unexalted triumph
The rising moon in your own eyes carries holey admonishment
For this reason I give my allegiance to the stars
When flickering is steadfast and beauty unmarred
Elegance is a heartbeat away from its price
And both heart and home face much greyer skies
That which lies beneath pillows
And behind Sun-peaked horizons
Unceasingly fullfills my nightmare's lust
Like a birthday candle lit to tease,
Why must I be tortured by this daily charade
I have blown you out for the last time
Die Sunset Die
Am I not bright enough to be your lullaby?

Wow, What a change. I just got through reading some of your first poems posted on DP. You took a turn toward the darker image, might I say. I felt a little let down. ][ ][
