A Thousand Fire Children

An otherworldly sanctum of velvet and glitter breathing slowly, eyes enthralled all in a flitter Charms of scents flood like a Delta wave becomes your keeper, oh foul charity! into a web of the unsaved It followed me home, cloaked in frosty white and bathed me in the beauty of the southern night This pain is like a dessert of whortleberries and lime even with my eyes closed, my sanctuary burned through time All in this abyss, this requiem, a frilltalon clan return and close control, and with shadows they ran It glows soft yet black as lust consumes with cruel loyalty and burns your soul to dust Such a delicious tragedy of honeysuckle shame smiles hide so many things, that even I had forgotten my name! There are thousands on fire, high on nectar dreams floating in the bright dark, then the sherbert sun melts them in a scream
