As flames of crimson,

a soaking measly carapace collects  muddy remains
weather overbears a confessing cloud.

My dark deeds
Of shame and filth,
My coward confessions
of cupidity and sin,
My redblooded eyes
Murders of innosense,

now silent unread

Inside there’s a freedom
once crossing the line,

Pending elation
Past impressions
Rogue confessions
Evoke restraint,
Hovering fear
Every time you are near
Newly made perceptions
Silent misconceptions
Inner hesitation
Over wrought sensation
Never-ending elation....
