Nineteen Steps To All I Fear

Nineteen steps to all I fear,
amplifying the strength to be had.
It was glass beads to teeth,
in hours of you, while
secrets pasted themselves to walls
in angry paper.
Praying for your thirst on entry,
eyes burning, crying for safety.
From the time, the time of you.
But lions tire and hours pass
and gallons of all I am spill,
splashing what was left
across mountains of you,
across the filth of your being.
Engines die and doors slam
and it's nineteen steps to all I am.

I cannot even come up with words for this, its so incredible. Some of your lines are just amazing. All your poems blow me away. I can't decide which I like best,"secrets pasted themselves to walls in angry paper". or "gallons of all I am spill, splashing what was left across mountains of you". Where and how do you get these poems?? I wish I could do it.

Every time I read one of your poems I think: This one is the best, now she can't get better than this. And yet you do it every time!
