Ecstasy and Pain

Wilted in crushed embrace; to tired to scream.
Candle tongue scorches pliant skin.

Chromatic vision, through incense mist
catches blurring reality.

Caged in breathless anticipation
of known agenda; resignation sighs.

Twisted bracelets wrap twisted thoughts
in fabulists truths and hesitation snaps
in pain fueled ecstasy.
