That Ravenous Kiss

Scott Threlkeld

My trembling breath enshrines
These shaking hands entwined
That time concealed from thought
By gossamer wings aloft
Black ether engulfs those halls
Where mortals rise and fall
Straining to peer inside
Chaos floods my mind
Wandering in seas of grief
Insanity sets me free
Screaming in terror and pain
Tortured by visions of rage
I shatter that deathly trance
As skeletons erupt in dance
Waltzing in rapturous bliss
I feel that ravenous kiss!
Billowing with heavens elation
Tethered to ocean’s creation
Transcendent winds divine
My weary soul to die
