Death of Love

The sand under my feet
burning bright;
the sky, a black hole of Erebus;
not a soul, not a whisper,
a feast of jejune sight!

My eyes, a saga of sadistic affairs, 
my lips, swollen like jellybeans; 
flesh in my limbs red with fire, 
I look and long for deathly scenes! 

Burning twigs light the world, 
while black smoke lovingly embraces-
in hatred;
I stay awake - a moving carcass, 
Love, where are you? et tu dead!
