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
