I cascade
across tender roots,
like a gazelle
within a heated breeze-
slithering slowly,
midst a demon's
hiss.

Devilish
desires
are plucked
away from a scattered mind
that has seen destruction
far more than I wish
to admit-

I go unnoticed,
it suits me to be incognito,
behind the scenes
of a train wreck,
for these leaves
are my haven-

I'm a nonconformist,
life is beautiful within the darkness.

    I see this stanza as you being misinterpretated throughout life....your devilish desires get you into trouble when you don't foresee it happening.

    I can related to this very well...

    and this...I totally get...I don't conform to rules very well either but...I've never thought about it as me being in the dark...I always though those that conform were the loosers haha!!!

    Oh, this was really deep and interesting. I enjoyed this, my only correction is " for theses leaves " this line in the last stanza, should be these.

    I admire your talent and how you create such power, it is awesome. xx

    Marvellous piece that should be put in a frame and placed on the walls. I absolutely want to be like you one day. You're a separate dictionarry Andrea. Your mind does no longer need to be polished. You've the capability to pen a far most unique piece of feeling cocktail. I totally support you.
