Alicia Keys

At night it crusts my eyes
She breaths out tendrils that snake in and seek out
For.a year and a half it burned in the third degree
Her name means "inferno" and yet still
She riddles my heart with soot

    Another vivid poem I had to read a few times! You have such a way of weaving words together seamlessly

    "If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." - Toni Morrison
