Dream State Scarlet

 It's Porcelain
stained sanguinary..




Closing your eyes
the water
rushing over
your face ..



The sound of it
sloshing around
is thunderous



It's like being
in the center of
an ocean


silent
except for the
roar of waves



nothing above except  
the solace of never  
ending sapphire skies



and




than the portiere of
ebony gradually lowering





Right before
you relinquish
you exhale

surface

Than

curl up



Tarnishing the carpet
with broken smiles
and bleeding arms ..



trying to grasp
a memory  
of a day
you felt free..



so many
dislocated pieces
you cant
put back together



trying to decipher
which part you are...




knowing they were
are all you...




Splintered soul
heavy holdings





all that's left is
stains
