    I loved how each line was a new image that gave the reader intrigue, but the meaning was a bit elusive. It made me think of detaching from our present state and exploring other senses, or letting ourselves explore the forbidden, past what we understand as mortals. I got different vibes from this. At first, it read as extension of drugs and their effects on the body and mind, the delusions or senses that are heightened. Maybe a sense of disillusionment. I also read it as being bound by another force, perhaps supernatural.... or even indulging in something alluring and full of passion, whether that force seeks to destroy us as humans or simply wants to lure us in with pleasure and pain. Interesting write, you kept the mystery in it even with those 10 lines. Hope to read more from you!
