Cloud after cloud inhaled

Body, mind and soul impaled

Pictures dancing without frames

Haunting demons no man can tame


A sight to see

A marvel to behold

A shining shell

A frozen core


It's not a secret, she's not a liar

She breathes in coals and chokes on fire


Heart of gold?

Not so much

Dark as night

An icy touch


Is it nonsensical all of this?

Like a hand without a fist

Like a barrel without depth

Or a rich man with no wealth


It's frustrating to read

As it is to write

This being of mine

Is full of spite


Of malice and lust

Of dreams and faith

Of toys and knives

Of love and hate


Waiting for the day she meets the Piper

This being of mine I can't decipher
