Burning Amidst the Hands of Love

Unstable fingers run along the fragile words in urgency,
Kissing butterflies across pale minds with gasoline.
As murky clouds begin to liquefy into droplets of purity,
She stumbles through the cotton balls of season's pass,
Leaving footprints in the blankest streets of lead.

An outlined tear tattooed upon the rosiest of cheeks,
Crumbles beneath the embrace of milky skies--
Dancing finger paint across the fields of grass,
Dripping loosened petals through the limbs of trees,
And draping her in a gown of dirtied splendor.

Now release the gas-doused match between her fingers,
Lighting visions severed by the ashes of a charming soul.
And promptly stop, drop and roll into the bleeding thorns of verve,
Smearing lovely lyrics athwart the liquid brown of eyes,
As she lays burning amidst the hands of love.
