Cruel Gaze

You see me by the cruel gaze your finger stroke tantalize my thoughts like flames pain deep within. Blind to the signs of chaos constricted of breath a thousand voices pause lips dripping with death. No tears for the lonely myopic in scope, minds intent on trickery only, hope desperation, death notes by rote inscribed. There is no respite, the lies eyes of the shadows assassins' vows the clash of destinies sanguine; black grins, white phantoms fail of reasons, demons of laughter tones sharp in the air Destroy me! Destroy me!, they stare- I smile, each face of stone confined within a labyrinth each breath shallower than before still give me more. One breath from eternity befalls the jeweled sky silver moons, red sunsets sweet beauty defies. Escape i must this secret touch subliminal streams of dreams abut these ties, love crimes- I pierce the distance sun kiss sapphires, and visions of indigo seas in autumn, a late breeze. They die away enemies of my soul the still of a purple haze inverse of a cruel gaze.
