Ablaze

[zahrakh]

Awake in his flame,
Like lucid dreaming in hell
Intoxicating, a fragrance trapped in brain cells,
Sweet torment she won't let go of.
Unending visions -- waltz on swirls of passion
Fatigued soul falling in darkness
Desperate sightlessness
Fingers fumbling for his hand, only to be seared
by molten betrayals.
Moments shared, togetherness -- chanting
demons in saints' clothes,
Drinking from bruises on the heart, blood of
dignity.
