Blackbirds perch within my heart,
Wings pound, a burden to start.
Adrenaline pulsates; bloating veins
Carry the weight of sempiternal pain.
Insects burrow beneath my skin,
Singing their sentiment, and their sin.
Goosebumps rise carnal red;
Entering the state of innard dead.
Placid tears evaporate,
Dolor becoming naught-
Vehemence begins to dominate
What has been forgot.
Your scrutiny kindles the flame
Of my uncanny dire soul-
Rectifying the dame
Who capers in the coal.
Swans doze within my chest,
Breathing softly, finally at rest.
Flesh silken; sterilized from hate
My saturnine roots germinate.
Verdure creeps through my rind,
Patulous green, magnanimous vines.
Insatiable demise long forgotten,
My heart no longer rotten.
