Inferno.

By Dreamless








I lie in wait

for just a thought;

just a spark

of me to cross your

crowded, clouded mind

For an hour, a minute, a second

I want to light a fire in your soul

That ignites the sheets

and sets your imagination ablaze

When you're exhausted

and the inferno dies out --

While you're smoldering and finally

you are...

extinguished,

I can die happily,

choking on the smoke from you burning











for me.

    Lovely silken piece Dreamless! Love saturates every line. The emotion expressed was originally conveyed. Much enjoyed :)

    I find your stupid emotional shit (thoughts) to be sexy. Great piece, from open to end... And I particularly loved the final stanza. I love genuine pieces that come from personal experience through life's unfair circumstances. ...exhales the charred ashes... -Smiles&Hugs Scholar
