Avaricious abundance, announcing
Blasphemous betrayals
Concertina cavorting cacophonous cadence
Depicting death-desired dread
Slowly,
I stand,
simmering in the seraphic summer sun, softly
stammering silly sayings,
smiling at the shining sky.
Solemnly,
I sit,
in the scenes of September, singing
Flames fiercely floating
Flames dancing in the dark
Flickering fleeting
Wood whispers, crackles in pain
Feeding its fiery power
Before we bonded
Bullies belittled me
And it broke my heart
Because I felt it in my bones
But now that we belong
With each other's beautifully
Breathtaking selves
Their words don't break
