Sea Of Roses

The ashes of your ghost still roam within a sea of roses. Breathing you in, I try to reach through the veils, yet to no avail. The bitter emptiness is all I can feel. The Fates keep taunting, teasing~ in the dead of night, your voice still lingers, preventing slumber from taking hold. The ticking of clocks infects my broken psyche, hallucinations tangle me within what used to be our sheets. Breathing in your scent, exhaling demons~ without you, the devil whispers. Temptation takes hold, fire flows through transforming veins. Lilith’s fury poisons any humanity that was left. Levitating from the bed, rebirth is at hand. Cutting into my chest, the heart becomes the heartless. Electricity pulses beneath rippling flesh, destruction now at my fingertips. Grief begets hate. Now watch as the world burns, as I become my own martyr.

Dear sara, this is such a poignant and heartfelt poem woven in such a moving manner! I love your use of the prompt and how it flows so well and how you’ve written so many lines in this especially the ending stood out for me the most! As well as “Breathing in your scent, exhaling demons~ without you, the devil whispers. Temptation takes hold,” deep! And soul hitting! Thank you for writing and for supporting my contest! You always write dark so well! Congratulations on your win
