Drawn out of the darkness
I saunter, curious, into the
Shimmering night
Inhale parching heat
Thoughtlessly
Bathe in the flickering light
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Screams of fate flood my mind
As the world launches into
Faltering flight
Searching for answers
Escape, a word culled from
My mouth for peace of mind
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nothing left to do
On this run
But set my paltry flesh alight
No tangible past
No viable road
Invades my sight
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Palpable chaos disturbs my final respite
Pouring from the broken jar
Luxuriant oil
Steeped with hyssop and rose
Anoint my scalp
And await my due
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A spark flown in on the
Winds of change
Ignites the accelerant
Clothing me in a cloak of flames
Scorching the venom
Writhing in my veins

CH 20~ Party Down
Argento’s ninth (eighteenth in earth years) Birthday came and went Thursday, the thirteenth, and he’d already received his father’s gift, if you could call it that. You had to commit a fairly serious infraction to be cut off; the Arch-Baron was keeping up appearances and maintaining his own reputation as much as any sense of love or attachment to Argento with his “gift.”

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

The imagery here is absolutely breathtaking! The way you weave darkness, light, and fire together creates such a visceral transformation.
Got big Doors vibes from the title and subtitle
