come closer.
don’t be scared.
i’m not going to lie though,
i do bite.
& there is nothing i love more
than blood dripping
from my petal-soft lips.
– you crave it,
our mystique,
our bodies to warm your sheets.
i rage,
you know.
a storm –
you smell the sulphur
i am the lightning
the thunder
the hurricane
the fire.
i will engulf you
swallow you
– shout my name,
iย dare you –
until all you taste
is the ash
i leave behind.
come closer,
don’t be scared.
– you will be left with the scars of our uprising
