Limestone Heart

Limestone-hearted eaten away 
by God's eternal, feral rain. 

Stalagmite preachers in full royal bloom.
Igniting fanged candles to temper the gloom.

Memories choked with thorny-throated weeds.
Half-hearted souls, blue marbled eulogies...
  
Truly, time chisels flesh into raw stone.
Fluted memories are forged from the bone.

Snake congregation bearing footfall refrain.
Limestone-hearted forever... a mad harlot to the rain.
