Poison

Ribbons of toxic butterscotch,  dollops of blush and cream,  Amethyst incense and innocence,  A lucid shade of green. Notes dance on disillusioned wings, Insults fail to fly, Drops of pain and suffering, Much too weak to die. Breathless waves and roaring shores, Champagne sparkles dissolve in teal, Effervescent memories, What's the price to feel?  Honey, golden poison, Drench an ebon lip, Ivory tainted photographs, Ashes in every sip. Betrayal and bitter evanescence, Lightning stained, distant shore, Venomous love, both putrid and pure, Addictive to the core. And, when does love become requited? Do the embers ever die? Caress and pray for luminous birth, Or settle for the lies? Drowning soul in seas of flame, Shelter from the cold, Rampant disease and ignorance,  A prayer to have, and hold. Sleep is sweet, nightmare relief, Puzzle piece of mind, Silent din, chaotic zen, Raptured ties that bind.
