Shadows cast a gleam
these deceptions I feel mingling
watching you
frivolously
the scaling of my skeleton
and the shedding of my flesh

Mephitical winds
stalking
the baffler trifling
to invoke then embody
this transient rabble

Trying to sigh away
and revoke this desperate life

but I'm sinking and suffocating
toiled and gasping
as I approach the vertex
The mask of clouds
no longer decorating
The vestige of your stigma
flashing feebly
illuminating in despair

The twinkling shrine
straining my eyes
Her womb shrouding and suffocating
masticating to swallow
my unveiled verities
Fulminating horizons collapsing
saturating the null with her belligerence
grinning with ignorance

The final lines are awesome here:

"Fulminating horizons collapsing
saturating the null with her belligerence
grinning with ignorance"

The meaning I find in this is very powerful--but I suspect (because I am no expert) that althought I adore the stretch of vocabulary that got us to that point, the emotion might have been better conveyed with a bit more simplicity.

But then? I may have just proven your point, yes?

*cackle*

Loved it.

Sometimes I don't think it is possible to simplify emotions, especially when they are so intense and overwhelming.  Thanks for the kind words
