Red Robes

lonely soul retrieve this ache and rid it from me by those in veil their wet and precious naked rose ive caught truths in my throat to offer the takers silent meat upon my bones and flesh they feast - in robes stained dark from thirst and hunger while blackness streams upon my slumber take my gentle neck into their teeth and break the shallow skin. im sin a whore layed in their laps entranced by sharpened claws begging adulterers' alcohol i crave each time i drink they serve me luscious sleep

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
