allure

 

too much for

too long takes a 

toll and the mind plays

with it tosses it around 

winds it up throws it back on

the fire to cook some more but

it burns and sears flesh and leaps

afire onto a platter presented once

again sporting a new form tame and

simple so approachable so beckoning

but it bites sinks its teeth into 

grey matter and synapsis sending 

currents sizzling their way deeper worming

into uncharted virgin mindfulness flushing it

out with nonsense and allure
