Protract

Dry dust particles drift genitally

Tastes of sawdust fill my nostrils and mouth.

Scurrying along a world

tasteless as my forgotten heart

filled with the same sawdust. I hear no beat.

A realm long forgotten.

Will I endup like the human monstrosities

broken , crumbled crackers

faint swishing , somewhere nearby

A hop, a jump, a leap

Not debris but a elegant swishing

A long string-like tail bait me.

Me. Not alone? Closer I go.

Exotic patterns and color scheme, even for us

A present, a gift, a show of interest

Not a stir except for blowing wind

How can this be, I'm sure I was heard.

No express change, no glance this way.

Thump flop...the blood pumped then stop

then restarted.

Playing hard to get. I shall best

There was me, there is she

time is deceased yet our moment is here

All I loved, I love alone

If it cost me my life

you will see and join me in this

crumbled world...

Limbs turned to putty

A quest to impress the beauty

A cut wont hinder my blaze,

my flame still lit beneath my hardened skin.

Became prey and lost a leg,

never will I quit , emptiness be my witness.

Falling stones crushed my tail,

Unlike them i will not fall apart.

My sole leg blisters and desists.

A mere mishap, ha...I shall continue.

sharper, rougher terrain as dragging on ward

Disconcern for injured organ, she will be mine.

Alas , wearily reaches a ledge yet

a strong shift. Tumbling down and down.

Never will know my pain, my feelings, my heart,

All in vain...
