Nerium Thorn



All is still  as the  golden veil slowly drifts mystically into a  sapphire  sea.
Iced silence descends.
Solitude cast shawdows.
Time slowly narrows.
Space  sinks.  
The floor
disintegrates.
Eyes closed.
Strange doors concealed. Intriguing keys revealed.
One knob turned.  
Hidden secrets burn.  
Embers simmer.
Soul grows dimmer.
Wings fade.
Nerium thorn.
Mind torn .
Rusted gears.
Hypnotic  fears.  
Counted tears.
Whispers heard.  
Dark figure emerged.  
Cold, Callous, and full of malice. Numb grip.
Strength slips .
Snow falling.
Lines forming.
Room spinning.  
White labyrinth haze. Kaleidoscope sparks.
Bent perception starts.
Euphoria sails.
Thoughts glitch.
Sadness stitched.  
False content.
Venomous words torment.
Crimson fury.
Hollow  blackness.
Faded flashes.
Shattered  glass.  
Fragments mended.  
Distorted image .
Gaze into an oblivion.
Broken reflection.
Creature of deception.
Truth accepted.
Light appears.
Mountains vanish.
Refuse to perish.
Eyes open.
Spirit of God surrounds.
Sword of wisdom raised.
Pride sliced.
Cast into a calypso blue.
Forgiveness received.
Enemies no longer deceive.
A renewed  lamp of life was given.
The wick is shortened.
When the end is near do not be afraid. God gives strength to the last flicker of the flame.

About this poem

This is about cocaine addiction. I was inspired by the person I’m in love with that suffers from this addiction.
