This just landed in the top ten on PostPoems.com

The gods breathe fire
and I am lost
in flames
and thoughts of the eternal sea

I seek the serpent's night
and the vines
of ambrosia

I embrace
the madness
of their heat

I bleed out
the words
the flames
the torch
of lips
suffering for the flowers
twisted in rain

Death seals my fate
and steals my soul

But her eyes
have unlocked the chest

Where I have hidden
my light in the darkness
of a silent room
