CRASH & BURN
Crash and burn
The candour of your poisonous sores
Begrudge the hazard do I carry for you
Tolerant in the lack of understanding
For your sullied greenery and verdure
The burden on my back I shoulder
Like bricks of cobblestone
Left on the pavement
On the boulevard
“THE TORMENT IN TROUBLED WATERS FADED LIKE LOST SUNSETS”
Crimson and milestone
Mend me a pathway
To fancy your displeasing
To want the torture you embellish
More than white picket fences
Puncture my wounds
Pierce my tongue with the solicitude of butterflies
To aspire the treacherous coveting
The torment in troubled waters
Faded like lost sunsets
Erupted out of the belly of umbrage
Unredeemed the layers of skin unfolded
Soggy and wet
Thick and waterlogged
The bandages that sheathed
The pain and misery
To journey with you
To the stars and back
On the beaten path
That we trespass like adulterers
Along the worldly thoroughfare
On the car ride home
Made of chariots and alabaster
Made of angels of armour
And white wings
You may also like
GUNFIRE
It burned like gunfireIn a barrage of fragmented steelIn a bombardment of misdeeds
