Anxious

A crimson waterfall

Oh how it tumbles

Every twist a whispered promise

Every turn a sweet secret

A smoldering coal

In the bed of your mind

Quiet and steady it grows

Transforming in your mind’s eye

 

A silken tomb for your attention span

A skin you ache to wear

Oh how the shadows play at its sinful edges

An anxious curiosity

Whose hands will rest

On burning coals?

Whose eyes will reflect

Flickering candle light?
