RUPTURED ECSTASY

The big round orb of amber
Slides down into neverland
I watch another day fade away
Crumbling to dust in my hands. 

Wrapped in my chaotic thoughts

I look at the deepening dark

Memories crowding the horizons

Of skies that mirror my heart.

The canopy shimmers with stars

And my eyes begin to stream

For all I see are glowing embers

Of my broken forbidden dream.

So sing me some songs of sadness

Release my tears to flow

Let my numb heart feel the pain

Of passion in anguished throes.

Make my insides shatter fiercely

Explode them on celestial blues

Let their ink draw taboo fantasies

On my skin in indelible tattoos.

Do sing me your songs of sadness

Let their plaintive rhymes swell

To drown the illicit illusions

In notes of a tortured farewell.
