Of Thoughts and Forests

My mind is a forest Deep and everlasting A sea of green Hiding the floors below Every passing moment A leaf emerges And with it a new world All in a thought A clock strike, the next With each passing breath The air filled with poison Of the purest kind One moment, a spark A light in the dark Brilliant red spreads Enveloping my thoughts Its blazing, its beauty My world its consuming A sea of flames Of passion alight But slowly, it dims Leaving nothing in its wake But the husk of what was And what will never be again My mind was a jungle My own personal hell Once filled with life Now only brimstone My mind is of ashes Only thorns left to thrive The floors hide no secrets Only skeletons it can't hide
