SNAKESKIN

MISTY as the powder of my soul
The demi-god of legend
Haunts like snakeskin 
Wandering my dreams
Igniting my being
Begging for your touch
Smoldering my loneliness

Forever

This is haunting. I remember the song, and how both the poem and song smolder.

I got it wrong. I saw Misty and remember a song by that name. Sorry.
