cruciform_shadow

a spectre, a jekyll hiding in the folds of my mind
watching my selves colliding.

the blanket tightens around my neck in my sleep,
skin damp and wet. overexcited from the dancing
nymph-like forms exquisitely arranged.
i feel my heart pounding the dance of a thousand kettledrums,
fighting my breath for control of me.
i saw your eyes staring back at me, cold fire and reptilian desire
your taste still lingers on my tongue, sweet and electric.
i wake, dying to dream again.
