Essence

Essence: leaking

This heart seems to remain

The face: bleeding

These teeth seem to remain

Essence: glowing

It falls like tears from a hollow face

The face: recoiling

It moves a like an old dog in a race

Essence: seeping

Into her cream-like crystal-like dreams

The face: blinded

By smoke rising above into far ancient beams

Essence: creeping

Into her features her creatures her death

The face: speaking

Into her ears her fears drinking up her breath

Essence: falling

Straight down away into the dark places

The face: melting

Dripping onto my secret hallowed places

Essence: dripping

Onto her breast and her broken form

The face: hiding

From her tragic blue eyes once so warm

Essence: congealing

On her smooth pale skin on her breast

The face: blood blushing

Breath stirring the waves in her warm nest

Essence: evaporating

Away in the air not letting her rise

The face: now leaning

On her stomach hearing her pulsing prize

Essence: fabricating

A connection more than flesh can afford

The face: selflessly

Watching wearing a mask not so abhorred

Essence: now remaining

Where it should not have ever been found

The face: beholding

Staring intently at the tomb the hole in the ground

Essence: fermenting

A wine no woman can swallow always it burns

The face: raw bleeding

A blood no man can truly taste because he never learns

Essence: discoloring

Her skin so pale so scarlet let her lie alone

The face: autonomous

Of her now ready await the end sinking into bone

But this heart seems to remain....
