Inspiration

I drank the blood of wine
from your lips of earth
heard your screams from that
far away place
best beloved
tortured soul
why do we do this to one another
chasing through dimensions of the eternal
where the body
so frail
cannot exist
Your claws sharp with truth
stripped the flesh
from my cowering spirit
while I bowed before the grace
and terror you became
best beloved
tortured soul
The fools who love on rose petals
whose mewling songs fall as ash
could not understand
the bond that shatters
can never know
mind numbing fright of
never again being one’s own self
always haunted by the visage of
the one, the singularity
that was
but you and I
best beloved
tortured soul
journey through planes
worlds
wading through mutual blood
drawn from our mortal wounds
laughing
loving
mad as the gods
