Hidden Heart Whispers

stop throbbing temple
blood pounded sight
dim daydreamt corneas
surround sharp morning light

hidden heart whispers
raging wan muffled souls
desire stoked embers
burn kiln shattered bowls

dermis flayed pilgrims
gnaw darkly smoked bones
slag dwelling convicts
flee coke crumbled clones

fly, fly away from
a wasteland of sorrows
as ash can yesterdays spill
into flashpoint tomorrows

is there only the now
present here in this spot
downshift stonebreak self speak
ungoverned egos run hot

blur sky, photochrome
squint into ink acid haze
peer at forever
as the danse macabre plays.
