Literature Text

So here I lay, once more
Heavens fall silent as I ask the Gods why
Eternity lays in wait

Tequila in my veins and the devil at my lips
An easy intoxication
Sated, but only for a time
The sun scorched earth where
Every desert meets the sky
Denied my retribution

Our clandestine affections
Fumbling through love, and into hate

Designed to rot and devolve
Evoking nought but pain and a clouded memory
Closing our eyes to the dappling light
Aching to my bones as you arch your spine
Young blood spills from my bitten lips
..oh, the rot set in.

Great poem. I interpreted this as a poem about a relationship turned sour. I did like the vampiric imagery in your final stanza. Wonderful work. :)
