Suddenly

I find myself

Shunted

Into a

Airless cave

The depths

Of which

Sink way

Beyond my

Senseless gauge

The rhythm

Of this

Fertile beat

Sounds of

Rage

Yet as the

Walls recede

Into an

Infinite

Unlit stage

Time becomes

Nothing

And words

Fall onto my

Bleeding page

To temporarily

Fix the

Pair of

Wounds

Old and new

Still the

Blood leaks out

Staining this

Manuscript

Through and through

Till you

Can’t see

The poem

Through the

Carnal stew

Of soaked

Creativity,

Crimson

Madness;

The love of you
