Enveloping Darkness [ Poetry ]

Self Destruct

Insecurities rest upon an open sleeve.
Growing like a high speed snowball.
Out of control.

In size it grows,
Dancing with its delicate feet upon scarred flesh,
Picking up the shrapnel of last years depression.

This was once sacred land.
Untouched by human hands.
Protected within the sheath of alive but not yet living.

Questioning each touch as if it were tactic.
Emotions blossom into hunting grounds.

Broken pieces carry themselves carefully in fear of turning to dust.

It seems as though these ashes would be the only thing to settle.
Through a clear understanding of its own remains, it floats on forever
As a cloud does on Summer's gentle breeze, caressing the face of the moon.

Twinkling beside the stars.

Entangled in the atmosphere of a world long forgotten.

And a world never found.
