Claustrophobic Cave

When r e a l i t y feels like a poisoned paradise, trapped in a claustrophobic cave, strangling my spirit with ice-cold claws of fate, I close my fatigued eyes, attuned to the mellifluous flames of the moon-wings, detached from the gravity pulling me six feet below, chained to a casket of chaos, adorned with obsidian roses clothed in ghost-veils of Lilith, as this onyx heart screams in silence, longing for an ethereal escape, where every song I sing is no longer a tattooed mistake, to the eyes that feel not the burden I wear in resilience, to the ears that heed not the truth I speak in hushed tones. I am the storm of tranquility, whirling through warm winds like delicate dandelions, drifting in the darkness~ an untamed asteroid to your eclipsed breeze. Forgive my bleeding ink, for I choose to flee from this sulfuric sphere, testing my patience while the seething sun tortures my sanity, burning lifelines breathing within my splitting skin. Yet I still remain an unrestrained distraction, skating upon Saturn’s rings, steeped in sakura smoke, exhaling toxic fumes of twilight tremors into the vast blue ether, drawing layers of lethal lies from the dark sorcery sprouting through hemlock roots, as I sculpt paper boats from pages of disappointments, watching them ferry my demons through methane lakes~ mirroring memories, as melancholic mists engulf my bones in volatile violets, drowning me in endless waters rippling with twisted topaz, and scorching salt. So let the tempest of life unravel doleful desires, entwined in the whirlpool of doomed destiny. I am more than a caged nightmare~ tonight I float with my shadow, through astral projection, abandoning the hellish embrace, to drink from the citrine cup of lithium serenity, that numbs the p a i n of existence, forevermore...
