*

& tamp heart till tucked behind bone,

a passion flaring deep in core,

dances & twirls in mirror reflective pores;

hard stains barricade sun,

heart strains devouring missing self crumbs;

monsters daringly loud,

hug mine in despairing shrouds,

Is there no safer way out?

barge through the blaring drought,

 indulge fists with blistering bouts,

Does it make the dark pleased of mangled shouts?
