Mannequin of Metaphors

When the malevolent moon drapes black current vines around my neck, etching the blood of betrayals in my white-whirling wings ~ I cease to scream in sanguine sighs within sangria songs of spring when I would wear love in lilac and you saw me in metallic maroons... as in this moment, my skin is but a sea of scars, sewn with indelible stars of dandelion damsels, who once lost their art of weaving hearts in your hoaxed arcs. And my agony remains, a secret behind wordless wisps of breathless vultures ~ feeding on the seeds of intuition, sown in cursed waters ~ illuminating insatiable infernos within my tulip-tinted temperence... But, I ache to be an apocalypse... more than the hellfire ink that stains your chauvinistic cobwebs ~ threading volcanic spells ushered in a storm of sepals beneath tattoo tears of periwinkle promises, for you are a mere imposter, stranded in ivory silks of snowflake silence ~ gnawing upon the merciless manifestations, manipulated by this mannequin of metaphors...
