SNAKESKIN

MISTY as the powder of my soul The demi-god of legend Haunts like snakeskin Wandering my dreams Igniting my being Begging for your touch Smoldering my loneliness Forever

This is haunting. I remember the song, and how both the poem and song smolder.

I got it wrong. I saw Misty and remember a song by that name. Sorry.
