Moving in<\/div>\n
like a fallen monolith<\/div>\n
fearing my breath<\/div>\n
will fade in the mist<\/div>\n

It has eyes<\/div>\n
circling like a hungry hawk<\/div>\n
engulfing everything around me<\/div>\n
as I wait to be a victim<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

a life in clouds of lust<\/div>\n
hugging us, in a brumous bed of hope<\/div>\n
dancing in the purplish haze<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
