stay

moan for me
make these inner demons roar
flicker these lights
to the taunting hurricane
to the flames licking away
the thorns from my skin

groan and hold on to me
pull down those claws
clinckering away when they rip
the binding cold iron of hesitation
anchored to the wall of my bones

scream in ecstacy
when I flow over you
with the high of clouds and winged warriors
and the depth of a boiling ocean

drink me in

and when dry trails
slowly hum our heart kissed lullabies
then let me linger there
in those strung out love strings
let me slowly sing to our orchestrated serenity
and whisper anxiously
“can I stay?”
