untitled poem VI

dim the blinding light,
scars strewn across my bloody face.
hearts and souls take flight,
away from this pretty place.

in and out the candlelight flickers,
a warmth to make the hearts smile.
a flash to make the flame snuff out,
come get high, just for a while.

that imperfect face on a pedestal,
that was loved just the same.
that familar place where we had all been,
that quizzical puzzling pain.

dim the blinding light,
i yearn for a taste of what’s beyond.
that thirst that consumes all of me,
that love that you might have never seen.
