haze

she wrapped chains
around my torso
forged
in the flames of hell
to bring forth
the lights of heaven

tossed me
down the well
long dried up
due to
drought conditions
in the arid wilderness

i must be hellbound
because
the wings on my back
were blackened
by promises
of love ever lasting

that i was
sent down from heaven
with wind burned cheeks
a half bottle
of red wine
and a bent halo

as the chains rattled
i fell
down down down
into the deep dark well
of scorned lovers
in a malevolent haze

One thought on “haze
